That's interesting. g_idle_add() is thread safe without telling it to use mutex locking? Based on the docs, I've always called g_thread_init assuming I had to. This may have a complicated answer, but how does it safely manage being called by multiple threads given that it is probably accessing data shared by the threads? Also, will I get any performance improvement if I remove it? _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
