you need to run do_heavy_load() in its own thread. the code you have
above doesn't do that (though you might possibly believe that it
does).

alternatively, make sure you call this (below) frequently within
do_heavy_load(): 

		 while (gtk_events_pending()) {
		      gtk_main_iteration();
                 }
