Not sure if you wanted it posted to the list, but the problem is with two threads accessing Gtk2.

Changed it to use an idle handler, but you can also use a timeout handler.  Here though it does not seem as 
if the console output changes, even with the original script, so not sure if there is still things needed, 
and I did not look too closely at what you are trying to do.
