One nice thing about Objective C is that you never have to accept "no"
as an answer -- here's a little old-school anarchy to get the job done.  ;-)

  1) Add the alternative ControlPanel below, replacing the printf
     with the GTK update code.  Add MyControlPanel.o to the OBJECTS in 
     your Makefile.

  2) Use +poseAs: before creating the GUISwarm in order to make
     this implementation look like the real ControlPanel.

  3) Call your GTK update code along with the doTkEvents code.

(Yes, the ControlPanel code should be rewritten.)

$ cat MyControlPanel.h
#import <simtoolsgui.h>
#import <simtoolsgui/ControlPanel.h>

@interface MyControlPanel : ControlPanel
- setStateStopped;
@end


$ cat MyControlPanel.m
#import "MyControlPanel.h"
#import <simtoolsgui.h>
#import <gui.h>

@implementation MyControlPanel

- setStateStopped
{
  [probeDisplayManager setDropImmediatelyFlag: YES];
  if (_activity_current)
    {
      [getTopLevelActivity() stop];
      return [self setState: ControlStateStopped];
    }
  else
    {
      [self setState: ControlStateStopped];
      while (state == ControlStateStopped)
        {
          printf ("sync\n");
          GUI_EVENT_SYNC ();
        }
      return self;
    }
}
@end
