[pygtk] Gtk programming technique question...

I'd suggest using either an idle or timeout callback. That should
solve your immediate issues.

If you're working with multimedia (in particular if it's likely you'll
want to provide live feeds in future) I'd suggest having a look at
gstreamer, which integrates nicely into the GTK main loop.
