[Gtk-sharp-list] Windows and Dialogs hang after WebClient.DownloadFileAsync

[Mike Kestner]

I'm assuming it's because the async web service response is running on a
different thread.  You have to ensure all Gtk# calls are made on the thread
which invokes Application.Init().  You can use Application.Invoke to perform
the context switch.
