Hi,
You do some async work? Read about:

g_timeout_add_full();

and

g_main_context_iteration();

You, can callback the to the UI forwarded event. I do something similar
as reading a file from a different thread:

http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/gsequencer.git/tree/ags/X/file/ags_simple_file.c?h=1.4.x#n1957

FYI: the UI thread shall run always by gtk_main().

Bests,
Joël
