As nobody else seems to want to follow up on this, I'll try to... (Please, no *personal* replies to me. Follow up to the list.) > Maybe there is a reason that can explain this phenomenon. You can launch a > thread with g_idle_add or g_time_out_add, Sorry, either you are misunderstanding seriously, or just using the term "thread" in a way that nobody else does. g_idle_add() and g_timeout_add() do *not* "launch" any threads. The callback functions passed as parameters to these functions run in the same thread that runs the main loop in question. (That might of course be a different thread than the one where you called g_idle_add() or g_timeout_add(), but anyway, no new thread creation is involved.) > nevertheless, this new thread can > not run with your main thread simultaneously. "can not" or "should not"? threads that can not run simultaneously would be rather pointless, I think;) Anyway, if your following text is based on the wrong belief that g_idle_add() or g_timeout_add() create new threads, it is pointless to try to understand what you try to say. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
