I will get back on this one, as I think its due to the threading changes in 2.31+ for
Win32.

Basically above C example actually also locks up if you move the window. I have
had issues to try and debug it, as GDB do not give insightful backtraces. I have
build a stack with VS2010 and from that with the C example at least it looks like
its a deadlock with the GDK lock (at least on Win7 with the new api's being used
for glib's thread/mutex support - will look at what the code does on WinXP
tomorrow).
