You're linking against gtk, and that probably brings in all sorts of code that can't safely be linked to in Wine. You'd probably be much happier if you carefully linked in the tiniest possible fragment of gtk needed to achieve your theming goals. (You might even be forced to duplicate a gtk source file or two, which would be a shame, but would at least give you the flexibility you need to avoid this kind of problem.)
ouch. My ultimate goal requires an enormous chunk of gtk code, I'd rather avoid doing this if at all possible.
Mike Hearn replied with some good suggestions. I also encourage you to discuss your goals here on wine-devel a bit more; it's not really clear to me how gtk theming and wine theming should interact. Also, it's not clear to me that the bloat caused by linking in gtk would be acceptable.
What sort of things are likely to be broken in linking to gtk? Where do I want to look if I want to try to fix this?
I suppose a good place to start is the source of that FIXME message.
It's probably the same issue Mono had: Wine doesn't use pthreads. We need to fix this, but it's a pretty big job.
