In case anyone's interested I solved the problem with a little hack. I create the progress bar this way:
progBar = gtk_progress_bar_new(); gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vboxGr), GTK_PROGRESS_BAR(progBar), FALSE, FALSE, 0); gtk_widget_show (progBar)); progressBarHack(progBar); the function progressBarHack() looks like this: void progressBarHack(GtkWidget* bar) { progBar = bar; } progBar is a global variable. I get an assertion error when I try to work with it outside the function where the bar was created. When I use my hack, which does nothing except some pointer work, everything works fine. I don't know why the hack was needed because I've worked with several widgets with no problems at all. But this thing works.
