  You spotted a bug -> bugzilla!

  I should warn you that threading in pygtk has never really been very
stable.  You're welcome to help test/debug threading, but don't expect
it to work flawlessly.

  If you really need threading, perhaps you should isolate the gui part
from the threaded part, using mutexes or async queues.

  Regards.
