Re: [gtk-win32] g_idle_add() weirdness

It shouldn't, and can't (unless you have a glib main loop running also
in the worker thread, which isn't likely). g_idle_add() schedules a
function to be called by the default (typically also only, typically
running in the "main" thread) glib main loop, on Windows as on Unix.

Please post a *complete* (but still *minimal*) compilable test program
that exhibits the problem. (And preferrably in plain C...)

Could the fact that in pthreads-win32 pthread_t is not a pointer (or
some integral type), but a struct, have something to do with this? (I
mean, could this lead your code into wrongly identifying what thread
the callback is running in? The only correct way to compare pthread_t
values is pthread_equal().)
