Are you trying to fork and then call GTK+ functions from both
the parent and the child? 

This simply won't work. (GTK's connection from to the X server can
only be used from one program). If you want to fork a child from a
GTK+ program and use GTK+ in both, you'll either have to fork the
child before initializing GTK+, or fork+exec the child.

I may have misunderstood the problem, however.
