I've got a GtkBox-derived widget (RBHeader, for anyone interested) and it currently animates 25 times per second. Obviously, I want to disable this timeout when it's not visible so I can keep the CPU from waking up needlessly. g_object_connect (header, "map-event", G_CALLBACK (rb_header_map_callback), NULL); g_object_connect (header, "unmap-event", G_CALLBACK (rb_header_map_callback), NULL); static gboolean rb_header_map_callback (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event, gpointer user_data) { RBHeader *header = RB_HEADER (widget); rb_header_set_animation_timeout (header); return TRUE; } I get a runtime warning: alex@fizz:~/Hacking/rhythmbox$ shell/rhythmbox (lt-rhythmbox:25023): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_connect: invalid signal spec "map-event" (lt-rhythmbox:25023): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_connect: invalid signal spec "unmap-event" In the manual http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkWidget.html#GtkWidget-map-event it says: "To receive this signal, the GdkWindow associated to the widget needs to enable the GDK_STRUCTURE_MASK mask. GDK will enable this mask automatically for all new windows." But, I don't have a GdkWindow to play with until AFTER the map, I thought that was the point... So I don't know what to do. Save me!
