Looking at GLib docs [2] we learn that: "... A GMainContext can only

trying to do is not possible?
If I understand the code above correctly, gtk.main() is still used in
a
single thread, just not the main one. So I can't agree the quoted
documentation explicitly forbids that.
You mean "Thread(target = gtk.main, name = "GTK thread")"?
If so, "target" is the callable object to be invoked by the run()
method.
Whatever is executed by the run() method runs in in the new thread
you created, not the main thread.
