Hi Julien,

This is nothing to do with events at all, then.

You should just set this property using g_object_set(), like you would
for any other property. Doing this from a different thread should be
fine.

Some elements ignore changes to properties while they're running,
though. I didn't check to see if textoverlay is one of them.
