[pygtk] Multithreading with Python and GTK

[Andreas Sommer]

My program has a frontend and backend and I wish to separate the GTK 
part completely from the rest, so I don't want to use GDK/GObject 
threading in my backend.

Actually I found out what the problem is. It's a common problem in 
gnutls which is used by a library I've imported (filed as a bug at 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512350). So it's not a 
problem with GTK, luckily.

Thank you for your help anyway ;-)
