"GTK+" functions are named "gtk_something".

If its called 

   gtk_*
   gdk_*
   g_*

then you should consider it necessary to surround the calls to it/them
with a lock acquisition and release. i'm not totally sure about the
g_* functions, but i think this is true even there.

[ for newish readers: this only applies when there are multiple
  threads that make calls to functions from GTK/GDK/GLIB ]
