Use .show() instead of .run(). To close the Window when the thread 
finishes, you can set up an idle handler in the thread right before it 
exits, and in your handler (which will then be executed by the main 
thread), call .hide() on the dialog.

I think you can also use Glib::Dispatcher for the same task.
