The general recommendation is to avoid using any GTK+ object from
different threads (because it does not work on Windows and from my own
experience it becomes very difficult to debug), but rather to devote
one thread to all the GTK+ objects, create other threads to do
specific jobs and have those threads communicate (using the GLib's
features).
