Indeed, maybe it can't be displayed using Gecko browsers and I only have 
browsers installed using the gecko engine (Firefox and Epiphany).

Whatever, I have another question:
I just tested the stuff using the gdk_thread_* functions, but it still 
doesn't work properly. The Async error messages from X11 are gone, but 
now it looks as if the gnome-vfs asynchronous functions don't work 
properly anymore.

Maybe there is something else I have to consider when using gnome-vfs? 
They run in separate threads but I have no influence whatsoever on their 
behavior. For example, I run asynchronous transfers, which call signal 
handlers of gtkmm widgets. In these signal handlers I embraced 
everything using:

{
gdk_threads_enter()

//... signal handler stuff, update progressbar and so on

gdk_flush();
gdk_threads_leave();
}

Well, now the errors are gone, but the program doesn't do anymore what 
it's supposed to, in fact transfer files :D

And why do I need to acquire a lock before calling the Gtk main loop?
