There's a list of GTK# multithreading techniques at
http://mono-project.com/Responsive_Applications

My favourite is Gtk.Application.Invoke (delegate { /*anonymous
delegate code*/ }; )
No matter which thread you run this from, the code in the anonymous
delegate will run in the GTK# thread, so it can safely run GUI code.
The anonymous delegate can also capture variables from its surrounding
scope, though with the usual caveats of cross-threading.
