I did a little more research on this one, and it seems the gui thread freezes at some point (at various places it seems), and then the worker thread goes on somewhat longer, until the next communication point with the gui thread. Why do I suspect this?
* If I comment out places in the code where the worker thread contacts the gui thread (the "view" object), I can make the installation go on a bit further.
* I can also see through logging that there is some further activity in the worker thread when the gui has frozen its repainting.

Therfore I think it makes sense to focus on DistUpgradeViewGtk.py.

I tried uninstalling some GTK/python development tools, that did not change anything
