Okay, I did this. You were totally right:
The callbacks are called within the context of the main thread. Still, 
the program hangs when not wrapping the call to dlg.run() in 
gdk_threads_*() functions. After stepping through the application flow 
with a debugger, it seems the program does not even hang at this exact 
point! The whole handle_transfer_overwrite() function where I spawn the 
dialog actually completes execution flawlessly, so it happens somewhere 
after. I couldn't yet figure out where exactly the program hangs, just 
that it doesn't when I acquire the GDK lock.

Please, if you have any more ideas, I'd be very thankful, cause right 
now I don't know what to do.

Thanks,
Matthias
