* GDK is no longer put into threaded mode automatically when 
  g_thread_init() has been called. In order to use the 
  global GDK thread mutex with gdk_threads_enter() and 
  gdk_threads_leave(), you must call gdk_threads_init() explicitely.
  gdk_threads_init() calls g_thread_init() if it hasn't already
  been called, so you can typically change your call to g_thread_init()
  into a call to gdk_threads_init().

  If you aren't using GDK and GTK+ functions from multiple threads,
  there is no reason to call gdk_threads_init().
