thanks. but it didn't work.
I compiled glib with --enable-threads
and then recompiled gtk (there is not switch for threads here so I guess
they use glib).
but still it does not work.
when I run 

nm /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.400.0 |grep thre
I get
.....
U gdk_threads_lock
U gdk_threads_unlock
...

so, still undefined.

any more ideas ?
