The equivalent of gdk_threads_init() used to be done at gtk_init() time if g_thread_init() had been called, but it turned out that many applications wanted to use GLib threaded, but only use GTK+ from a single thread. Once gdk_threads_init() has been called, you have to follow additional rules for locking in your application so it isn't something you want on if you aren't using GTK+ from multiple threads. > Has this ALWAYS been the case the g_thread_init() has to be followed by > gtk_threads_init() because if so, I have a very long standing bug, that's > been in my code for years. Well, depends on how long your code has been around. The switch was made prior to GTK+-2.0, it's mentioned in: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-changes-2-0.html Regards, Owen
