It's true that some applications are outdated, but some are still being
developed from which seeing how different techniques are used is still
possible.  For example, Regexxer would be a good application to see how
the regular expression API is used because it is still being developed.

Another good app that uses glibmm/gtkmm that might use threads and other
relevant API is gnome-system-monitor:

http://ghttp://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-system-monitor/tree/it.gnome.org/browse/gnome-system-monitor/tree/

I haven't look at its code but it might be worthwhile to take a look to
see how it does things.  Granted, it's developed for linux, but whatever
API it uses might also be usable in Windows.
