In general most threads are in waiting mode during large parts of their life time. If the main thread than wants to end that thread it sets a flag and notifies the thread to wake up. The thread than wakes up and should check this flag. As I understand your question you would like to more or less shoot the the thread, which I think is bad practice and also I don't know how to do so with GTK.
