In glibmm, posting idle callbacks is not thread safe, so
Glib::Dispatcher would be the way to go if a timeout to report progress
does not do what the OP wants, or he could use glib's
g_idle_add()/g_idle_add_full() directly, which are thread safe if he
has called Glib::thread_init/g_thread_init() first.
