Hello Here's my problem : i have a daemon running in the background, and i want it to show popups after some events. I'm new in using GTK, so i took a look at the tutorial, and i managed to create the window and show it. The popup window is closed when pressing on a button. As i don't want this popup to be blocking for the daemon, i wanted to put it in a thread using pthread. After a few tries, i managed to make it work, which means, i can show multiple windows at the same time and close them independently. To do so, in the function which shows the popup window, i have the initialisation of the window, and then the following liness : gtk_main (); while (gtk_events_pending()) gtk_main_iteration(); and a quit handler is associated to the button and contains : gtk_main_quit (); I have 2 questions : 1. When running it works, but i have lots of messages like : (<unknown>:20080): GLib-WARNING **: g_main_context_check() called recursively from within a source's check() or prepare() member. (<unknown>:20080): GLib-WARNING **: g_main_context_prepare() called recursively from within a source's check() or prepare() member. 2. (more about pthread i guess) i don't want to add a join in my program, i just want the thread to show the window and stop when the button is clicked. That's why, after everything is done, i added a ptrhead_exit(NULL) call, but even after the window has been closed, i still have processes : 20287 pts/1 Z 0:00 \_ [sh] <defunct> 20292 pts/1 Z 0:00 \_ [sh] <defunct> 20296 pts/1 Z 0:00 \_ [sh] <defunct> 20302 pts/1 Z 0:00 \_ [sh] <defunct> i have 4 such processes for each window opened. Am i doing something wrong with GTK or pthread ? Thanks a lot for your help ! Fred _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
