Chris explicitly said you need to "free the GIOChannel object"and that using g_io_channel_shutdown "of itself is not sufficient".

I agree that the documentation on this isn't very good. So you need to change how you create the channel object (which you haven't posted so I have to assume you didn't change it) _AND_ you need to ensure that the callback returns FALSE when it detects end of file. Try doing what Chris said and see if that helps. Rob _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
