You might have some success if you use the low level mechanism: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/gobject-Signals.html#g-signal-handler-block and/or http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/gobject-Signals.html#g-signal-handlers-block-matched and/or http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/gobject-Signals.html#g-signal-stop-emission-by-name etc. That's all at the individual signal level, but probably the behaviour you're trying to block is in a signal handler somewhere. A different tack would be to desensitize ("grey out") the Widget, ie http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.12/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-sensitive though that's probably not "stop UI updates" like you asked.
