Although this doesn't solve my greater problem:

The worker thread cannot send events to the dialog (main thread) using
GtkThread.async.  Those events seem to be delivered to the ordinary
Gtk main loop, but gtk_dialog_run creates a secondary, hidden main
loop.  As a result the dialog never sees the events and they only
appear after the dialog is closed.

Anyway, the patch I posted seems good, provided you're not trying
to send events between your threads ...
