 > Signal 11 is the same as SIGSEGV. Where did you get that information?

 From wikipedia, "SIGSEGV is the signal sent to a process when it makes an
 invalid memory reference, or segmentation fault"

 > Well, reading [http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=show&file=faq20.006.htp
 this document] (it's for gtk2, but it's the same concept) I found that if
 we want to update the GIU by another thread we must use
 {{{GObject.threads_init()}}} and then {{{GObject.idle_add()}}} but it
 doesn't say what's up if we use {{{idle_add}}} without {{{threads_init}}}
 [http://git.sugarlabs.org/browse/mainline/blobs/master/edittoolbar.py#line80
 which is our case now][1] that we removed {{{GObject.threads_init()}}}

 > [1] I'm not sure what is the function of that line

 {{{idle_add}}} is used to do a call when the processor is idle, activities
 use it a lot without involving threads.
