If I understand correctly:
1) Only one task can execute a gtk.Main.Main at the same time, it is not
possible to manage different windows by different tasks. True?
2) There is a mechanism to ensure serialization. If a task attempts to call
Gtk while another task is executing in it, it will block. I assume this
applies also to the case where the other task is inside Gtk.Main.Main - in
other words, while you are interacting with the user, all tasks that attempt
to use Gtk are blocked. In this case, I don't see much value in providing a
task-safe version, since in practice you'll need to use Gtk from only one
task any way... (i.e. there is no point in using multi-tasking, if N-1 tasks
are blocked....)
