I wrote this GtkWorker some time ago:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/521881/

It contains a demo of running a heavy prime searcher in a thread, while
easily featuring a progressbar, a process view and a cancel button.

It's in python, but I it could probably be translated in less than an
hour. If I could write C I'd suggest something like it for the glib.
