Its pretty unlikely multiple threads are accessing gtk/etc, we know its not thread safe, so are very careful about using it (as much a mess as it makes of the code).
Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm definetly not getting it (yet) - I very infrequently update gtk/etc though. gdb seems to be playing up too, perhaps try cvs gdb? Not really sure ...
