Comment(by humitos):

 OK. I think that {{{GObject.threads_init()}}} allow us to use the Python's
 {{{threading}}} module, e.i "import threading".

 I checked that the {{{threading}}} module is imported in Browse in the
 {{{pdfviewer.pdf}}} but it's not used (and should be removed) and I think
 that it was added some time before.

 Besides, Get Books uses Python's threading module to download things from
 the Internet ({{{opds.py}}} file) and if I comment the
 {{{GObject.threads_init()}}} line it don't work anymore.

 The [http://developer.gnome.org/pygobject/stable/glib-functions.html
 #function-glib--threads-init doc link] seems to miss something in the
 middle of the explanation: pay attention to the "the the". Even more, if
 you copy and paste that line on a text entry you will see a big space
 between the "the the" words -> that made me think about there is something
 missing there...
