[MonoDevelop] gtk# application on windows

[James Talton]

I was seeing a lot of exceptions in my GTK Windows applications.  They often
happened around StoreObjects, which are used by the TreeView.  Then I
followed this post:

It turns out that even when you label your main function with [STAThread] on
a dual-core machine, we get problems with weird crashes.
The solution is to use the following thread idiom:

 Glib.Thread.Init();
 Gdk.Threads.Init();
 Application.Init();

 Gdk.Threads.Enter();
 try
 {
  Application.Run();
 }
 finally
 {
  Gdk.Threads.Leave();
 }


That fixed my problems.  I hope that helps you out.
