yes, *every* call to any GDK or GTK function must be wrapped in the
thread lock (if you want to take this approach; i prefer the "only 1
thread accesses the GUI" approach).

then you have a bug somewhere. it will be hard to figure out. 

i have an application that from time to time has 7 threads active in
it. i've run into the kinds of crashes you describe, and in every
case, after a huge amount of careful debugging, the error was *always*
mine.
