If I understand your situation, you want to modify widgets from a 
spawned thread. You cannot do that, but you should send a 
widget-state-change request to the main thread using Idle class.

import glib.Idle;

void aThreadFun(){
     new Idle(delegate bool(){
						
         // Modify your widget here. Redraw etc.
						
						
         return false;
     });


}
