GTK Thread help

["Edward J. March Jr." <emarch eagle ais net>]

I compiled gtk --with-threads=posix
In the hope of using GTK for a threaded project.
However  testthreads in the /gtk-1.1.5/gtk/testthreads
crashes before running till completion. WHY??? 
The error is Gtk-Message (recursive)

What is the normal way to have a some task in the background
add text or data to GtkWidgets ?? Seems like a processes is too complex and
has the non-memory share problem. If not threads what other method can I
use ?  What does GIMP use ? and How ? 
Seems like if testthread crashes anything I write using a thread w/ Gtk is
also hopeless ? Right ? 

Please point me in the right direction. I like GTK a lot NICE JOB guys !


	Best Regards, 
	Ed
