This a very expensive fix that, for one thing, is going
to cause extra flashing in the display. It's not clear
from the description what the structure of the application
is - how threads are being used without g_thread_init(),
so its hard for me to recommend a fix. In some cases,
while using threads, it is necessary to do a gdk_flush()
explicitely, but that generally only is going to
happen when you _are_ using g_thread_init().
