I tried this with but used the gi.repository import, so I called
GObject.threads_init() right after main. However, execution still gets
stuck.

But I wonder if gobject actually releases the GIL when I call
g_thread_join(). If I join the thread, execution is blocked, if not
the execution segfaults. But, thanks for your help so far, I will see
what I can do.
