Very valuable articles and blog posts.

Now I know that threading in GUI apps (using GTK+) is much harder then I
originally thought it is. Although my use case is very simple I must
employ complicated threading machinery. I'm playing with
consumer/producer pattern and separate worker thread and I hope it
doesn't blow up in my face. I've also found application that works
similarly to my own - baobab (disk usage analyzer).


Thanks for all shared ideas and resources,
