I've seen this recently. The behavior varies depending on what version
of Gtk+ you're running with, and on what operating system.
The basic problem is that, on some platforms, even w. Gtk+ 1.2.6,
you need to surround calls to gtk.events_pending() and
gtk.mainiteration() with calls to gtk.threads_leave() and
gtk.threads_enter(). On others (e.g. Solaris) you *shouldn't* do so.
I'll trudge in to the office in a bit and forward some relevant code,
showing how to work around the problem on a handful of OS platforms.

P.S. This probably sounds kind of bogus. That's why I've not posted
comments on it before -- I'm probably missing something obvious.
