Just a small point about your code. I'm fairly sure that *every* call to
the gtk and related libraries should be wrapped in a
gdk_thread_enter()/leave() block if that call is in a thread.

You call gtk_clist_set_column_width(), gtk_clist_freeze(),
gtk_clist_append() and gtk_clist_thaw() in the thread. Only
gtk_clist_append() is wrapped by the gdk_threads calls.

You should probably move the call to gtk_clist_set_column_width() into
main() and appending to the clist should be like this:

	gdk_threads_enter();

	gtk_clist_freeze(GTK_CLIST(the_info->clist));
	gtk_clist_append((GtkCList *)the_info->clist, buffer);
	gtk_clist_thaw(GTK_CLIST(the_info->clist));

	gdk_threads_leave();

Also, I'm fairly sure that the freeze and thaw is only useful when
adding lots of stuff in one go.

This won't help with the problem though :-(.

Cheers, Matt.
