(i'm actually kind of surprised there's no gdk_window_set_cursor_after_delay() call, for just this purpose. :-) paul =--------------------- paul fox, pgf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (arlington, ma, where it's 74.1 degrees) _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
