Blocking gtk_main() and periodic interaction are not in conflict. If a single iteration of the Gtk+ main loop, i.e. gtk_main_iteration(), does things that take too long for your requirement of periodicality then you are in trouble anyway and running gtk_main_iteration() explicitly buys you nothing. You will still get too long delays due to gtk_main_iteration(). If a single interation of the main loop does not take too long then you can just run gtk_main() and perform the regular inter-thread interaction in a source registered to the Gtk+ main loop, e.g. using g_timeout_add().
