Supposedly you ran into a big pitfall: Accessing the GUI from multiple threads 
will not work in most cases! Instead, it will lead to nasty things like the 
GUI freezing or the app crashing altogether.

But there is a workaround: Encapsulate all GUI accesses made from a sub-thread 
with Gtk.Application.Invoke(). This will synchronize these accesses, so that 
your sub-thread will not interfere any more with the main GUI thread (which, 
in theory, is the only one which has the right to do anything with the Gtk 
user interface). See the Mono documentation for details on this method.

I hope with short info will help you.

Kind regards
