Multiple threads using gtk is not supported on win32, see 
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Threads.html

It may be better to use multiple processes in any case unless all of the 
components that you are using are thread safe -- a lot of code isn't 
thread safe or use different thread safety models and it's a good idea 
to assume code won't work with threads until proven otherwise.
