D'oh!  Now I am embarassed.  My appologies for not do that in the first
place.  I was so close in my attempt.  I found the gtk_main_iteration()
function but I just did not realize to put it into a
while(gtk_events_pending()) loop.  Works like a charm!

For those interested, simply put one of these where you want the
application to show an update (outside of gtk_main() of course):

        while (gtk_events_pending())
                gtk_main_iteration();
