The error message is not related to threading, the actual error is "Attempt to 
call an undefined alien function." which means that cl-gtk2 tried to call a 
function that is not present in a library.

cl-gtk2 requires gtk+ >= 2.16 (and glib >= 2.20) but ubuntu 8.04 has too old 
versions of them (gtk+-2.12 and glib-2.16 according to 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/libglib2.0-0). You should update them (I'm 
sorry I can't help with that - I don't know ubuntu well enough).

In the current development version of cl-gtk2 (and in next released versions) 
the error message about libraries versions will be more clear.
