Read the threads section of the api-manual of gtk and gdk, and the usage of gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave(). Sounds very like thread race problem. For all glib events, you need to call gdk_threads_enter()/gdk_threads_leave by hand. Events that comes from gtk, already holds this lock. gtk main looks like this while (!quit) { gdk_threads_leave(); /* unlock */ let_glib_run_until_we_have_a_event; gdk_threads_enter(); /* lock*/ handle_events; } Stian _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
