[Gtk-sharp-list] System.Timer, Thread and notification icon.

[Andy Selvig]

Have a look at this article for all sorts of information about using
threads with Gtk#.

http://mono-project.com/Responsive_Applications

Basically, you want to use Gtk.Application.Invoke to make calls to the
GUI thread from a different thread, like:

Gtk.Application.Invoke (delegate {
              // do something to a gui object here
});
