All things Im doing from threads are protected by the lock...
But I noticed that all those crashes disappeared once I ran GnomeMeeting
under the same user as the gnome session. If I run GnomeMeeting under
the same user as the gnome session, I get no crashes, no problem. Except
one : if I cover the GnomeMeeting window several times in a row and
quickly by another window, it crashes when refreshing the drawing area.
It can also crash when changing the GTK theme.

I'll try to investigate further, but I have no idea where. And I don't
think anymore that this kind of thing is a bug in GnomeMeeting.
