You're getting confused again. Of course you need to mutex your data, and probably keep it in one thread. Why would a single-threaded anything have IPC in it? It's up to the programmer to decide how they want to use it.

At any rate...I assume it's probably not.

Unless it mutexed each and every last memory access, how could anything possibly know which things to protect? Again -- up to the programmer.

There's a simple answer to the problem of you calling things like that deep in event handlers; don't do things like that deep in event handlers... it's an interface, you don't need to bury your whole program in it.

NAME

       libgdk-x11-2.0 - GTK+ Drawing Kit API

DESCRIPTION

       The  libgdk-x11-2.0  library  is  an  implementation of the GTK+ drawing kit for the X11 windowing system. It is used by GTK+ for low-level
       drawing operations. Most applications will not use GDK directly, but will use GTK+ components (see libgtk-x11-2.0(3)).

       To access the API documentation, you must install the developer version of the package.
