Synchronize supposedly is blocked when there is too much GUI  thread 
activity and the appropriate event does not get handled. Maybe when 
dragging a window GTK blocks in some event, which is 100% GUI  thread 
activity from the application's point of view.

But of course you can't change what the GTK does when dragging a window :(.
