I'm not going to add a thread before 3.0 :-)

And I can't find a "run main loop until idle" call in the docs. You can run gtk_main_iteration_do(FALSE) to get one event handled without the risk of blocking… reading through the download thread didn't get me any closer to a solution, either :-(

I'll play with issuing calls to gtk_main_iteration_do() to see if that helps…
