I spent a couple of days doing some research and as a result I changed my code to use g_thread_create() instead of pthread_create(), added the gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave() calls and gave up trying to pass data from one thread to the other. Now everything works as I expect.

Thanks for your suggestions and patience.
