Hm yeah, you could use something like if (!gst_thread_id_computed) { 
gst_thread_id_compute () }; which would obviously work with all threads, though 
it might get to wrong ids because of races and/or debugging disabled/enabled in 
only parts of the code.

I had thought you meant initializing a private in gst_thread_run and using that.

Anyway, as long as it works for any thread created with g_thread_create, it's 
fine with me - as long as it offers a real benefit to just using g_thread_self 
and doesn't irritate people.
