title: PyGTK: Controlling interface from within joined thread
body: <p>I have a thread in PyGTK, inside my mainloop. It's a Timer, so it needed to be joined with .join(). The problem is, I now cannot edit my UI from in that thread - change text and so on - because of the .join(). Is there a way I can change things from outside (well, you know what I mean) the mainloop?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
