i would say that you reconsider your application/thread model.

don't know whether the approach to put the gui-mainthread in another thread
works but it is not a good idea.
better create Gtk::Main in main() and then create a separate thread in
MyCameraFramework or also in main(); then use Glib::Dispatcher as a means to
communication with the gui-objects if you use gtkmm-2.x
