Sorry i forgot to ask: What do you mean by "gtk assumes a fresh image"? (In which context?)

To put it even more precisely, what do you mean by saying:

?

From the docs GTK+ API docs:

gtk_main():
[...] You can nest calls to gtk_main(). In that case gtk_main_quit() will make the innermost invocation of the main loop return.
gtk_main_quit():
Makes the innermost invocation of the main loop return when it regains control.



You either need to clarify what you are exactly up to that seems impossible to you with the current mechanics, or your question doesn't really make sense at all (and just shows a lack of knowledge of the GTK+ API and, well, GTK+ mechanics).
