threaded gtk apps / panel stability

[Jasper Huijsmans]

Hey all,

There have been some stability problems with the panel that are possibly
related to thread usage. 

A different approach to using threads with gtk apps is described here: 
http://tiago.blogdns.org/gtk_threads.html

Would that be something the panel could use, instead of all the
gdk_thread_enter()/leave() stuff? No idea if it would be more robust. Any
ideas? Brian, Benedikt?

cheers,
	Jasper
