I don't use the threads enter/leave stuff (it's much too annoying and fragile, in my opinion). Instead I have all gtk stuff in the main GUI thread and have a pipe which workers can post pointers down. The GUI thread uses gtk_input_add() so that it gets woken up when data arrives from the pipe.
Just make sure that you have a lock around any code that touches the data the pointer is pointing to, and this approach is definitely one of the best.
