1. Gtk is not task-safe, which also includes Glib, Cairo etc.
2. Gtk are synchronous calls, when performed between tasks this may lead to
deadlocking even in a task-safe environment, which Gtk is not.
If you want to call to Gtk operations from an independent Ada task you must
marshal it to the main task (the task running Gtk messages loop). An
implementation of this mechanism is here:
