Just to clarify some of the advice I gave Ionutz: 

using gdk_threads_{enter,leave} is fine if you don't have performance
considerations that might be affected by the X event loop. 

the multithreaded model I use, where only one thread ever gets to call
GTK functions, is required by the program I'm working on, in which the
delay sometimes caused by gdk_threads_enter() would be intolerable (I
have 1.2msec to compute some sound, and if I don't do it in time, my
program is broken).
