Crash in Gtk:Main::run (callback/signal problem)

[Dunge <dunge2 yahoo com>]

Hi!

We are creating an application using GTKMM. We are using a lot of
Gtk::Button and Gtk::DrawingArea controls and connecting expose_event() and
button_press_event() on them using standard gtkmm code. Application works
fine and react as wanted. Unfortunately, we noticed some random crash a
while ago, and since release is near I was assigned to fix them. I don't
know exactly what cause the crash, but if I click on every button randomly
the fastest I can for 2-3 minutes, it always crash with the same problem.

Here is the callstack:

As you can see, debug break in Gtk::Main::run(). Judging from the stack at
#6, it have something to do with
Gtk::Widget_Class::button_press_event_callback. Since every callback we have
works fine, I wonder what it could be. Is there a problem is we manage to
click 2 buttons with callback in the same gtk iteration? Can this be some
gtk multi-thread problem? We only use one for the UI.
