Gtk has nothing to do with this; it's a normal standard I/O issue.

The general answer is to call "fflush(stdout)" when you want your
output flushed immediately, regardless of line endings.  You can
also, though it is not recommended if you are doing heavy I/O,
call "setbuf(stdout, NULL);" to disable buffering output to standard
out.
