This message is usually due to bad threading: you can't have two threads
that update the interface :-(

If gui uses threads, then it requires quite a lot of engineering to be
done "in the right (read GTK+) way": a thread that is the ONLY one that
updates the interface and N threads that do the dirty work... It's the
paradise of global (or static) variables :-)))

BYtE,
 Diego.
