Thanks,
I've read this topic, but didn't realize, that signal received within the 
Gtk.Application isn't thread safe.
The easiest way was (as I suppose) is:

if(Changed != null)
	Gtk.Application.Invoke(delegate { Changed("u"); });

or catch the signal in MainWindow.OnChanged() and execute second function (or 
code) with G.A.Invoke.

The second approach is, as I think, more correct, because it does not make 
Thread class Gtk dependent. The first is "write and forget" - You don't have to 
remember about G.A.Invoke and writing delegates.

Piotr
