It depends on what you mean by "thread safe".  Apart from the
container types that glib provides, glib is thread safe, including its
main loop and (since version 2.8.0) its reference counting.  The
individual container types that glib provides (lists, queues - except
GAsyncQueue - hash-tables and the like) are not thread safe, nor are the
data that the containers reference (the latter obviously depends on the
contained types themselves).
