Ironically, your email rolled in Monday right after I had managed to come up with most of the same information independently. I just blogged about my own findings which are fairly close to your own observations! http://research.operationaldynamics.com/blogs/andrew/#gtk-thread-awareness I didn't quite agree with this conclusion: > do not use gdk_threads_set_lock_functions() to facilitate (a) as that was rather critical to things working [so far] for us; hang tight until I get a chance to write up part 2, but I am going to take the time this week to carefully consider the traps you cite and try and see how they affect the pattern we developed. I'm quite certain that this sort of thing will expose bugs in GTK for the simple reason that this style of doing multi-threaded apps is not prevalent -- but such bugs will do well to be smoked out and fixed regardless.
