I think it should work like this:
var window = new Gtk.Window ();
window.Show ();
Application.Invoke (DoSomeHeavyWorkHere);
Application.Run ();
Alternatively, you can use a simple thread:
using System.Threading;
...
var window = new Gtk.Window ();
window.Show ();
var thread = new Thread (delegate { DoSomeHeavyWorkHere () });
thread.Start ();
Application.Run ();
Of course, as Gtk isn't thread-safe, you'll have to dispatch any GUI
updates from the thread via Application.Invoke.
