How to clear pending events?

["Andrew E. Makeev" <andrew solvo ru>]

Good day,

I have 2 threads:
DATA - to read data from DB
GUI - to display data

Glib::Dispatcher is used to send updates from DATA thread to GUI.

At some time I would to switch environment, so, I am destroying all
forms (GUI-objects) already displayed, and giving user "login" dialog.

When GUI-objects are destroyed, Glib::Dispatcher notifiers are destroyed
as well, but it happens before MAIN-LOOP actually reads all events those
were stored by notifiers. So, application crashes, when trying to access
data from Glib::DispatchNotifier structure.

1) My class that contain Glib::Dispatcher object is derived from
sigc::trackable, so, I hoped it should handle signal disconnection
properly on destruction.

2) (GTK+) Is there way to clear events manually to prevent application
from crashing?

That backtrace I've got from debuggin:
