BTW, is there any possibility your code is invoking GTK3 APIs
from a thread != main GTK event loop thread ? If so, that is
a sure way to get non-deterministic wierd behaviour with GTK.
Maybe? This is the code which is run when the "Test Connection"
button is clicked:
https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-p2v/blob/c213ae00a337cb04e63cbfe4fb4b3...
It runs a thread (to test the connection using ssh) and that thread
creates an idle {job? event?} in the new thread.
However I documented it as:
* Idle task called from C<test_connection_thread> (but run on the
* main thread) to start the spinner in the connection dialog.
Whether that is true or not and how I deduced that, I don't recall.

Assuming GTK3, you can use gsettings to change layout for apps
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources
"[('"xkb"','"us"'),('"xkb"','"fr"'),('"xkb"','"it"')]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources current 1
this can be done dynamically on the fly too
With regards,
Daniel
