You can use pthreads under glib without problems. For Unix-like systems, gthreads is only a wrapper for pthreads. However, you need to call g_thread_init() to make glib (including g_idle_add()) thread safe, whether you are using gthreads or using pthreads directly. You do not need to call gdk_thread_init() if you are only invoking GDK/GTK+ functions by message passing via g_idle_add() (that is, if you are not calling gdk_threads_enter()/leave()).
