Ok, good :)

But, it's still strange, because if I call gtk_exit(), it doesn't seg
fault. And my program doesn't seg fault when using a different
interface (also threaded). And gdb tells me that the seg fault is
somewhere in exit(), and that code is outside my code.

Oh well, thanks for the info anyway, I'll have to dig deeper into
this.

May I ask what the reason for gtk_exit() is, if it doesn't do anything 
else than exit()?
