In part of a programme I have a call to a function which calls gtk_widget_show(entry) where entry is a pointer to an instance of GTK_ENTRY. The actual entry box appears on the screen several seconds after the fundction has returned, indeed after several other components have been rendered. Any ideas why? ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
