I run GTK+/GNOME apps all the time, and I have yet to see this, so 
AFAICS it's not a bug in gamin or GLib/GTK+.  The only other things I 
can suggest are:

1) rebaseall, as launching gam_server involves a fork(), the failure of 
which can lead to strange behaviour.

2) create a ~/.gaminrc with the following contents:

fsset ntfs poll 10

The last number is the poll interval, in seconds.  The default is every 
second, and that can sometimes lead to excessive CPU usage.  Usually 
that's only a problem with KDE, where several large parts of /usr/share 
are monitored, but it's worth trying.
