This is not a problem because glib's API is in this case only a wrapper around Win API.

Yeah, you're right. I called the test function before calling gtk_init(), which also takes care of the 
g_thread_init().
So I found out, that GStaticMutex actually worked for my test sample program, but didn't work in the 
developed application
as expected. 
After heavy investigation I realized that using mutexes is not a good solution for what I was trying to 
achieve and that the random behaviour was rather a design problem. I used a different way for thread 
synchronization and it works fine.

So thanks everyone for replies.

By the way, what is OP? You sound incredibly formal. I respect it, however. As long as you're polite and 
answer the questions :).
