What I meant was to call gtk_main_context_acquire() which claims the context for the current thread, allowing it to then run the other functions to handle events. The problem with that seems to be that the main thread must explicitly gtk_main_context_release(), rather than the acquire simply being allowed to happen when the main thread is blocked anyhow. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQ9N+pAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75434IAIXpwbTYmfm8VLkm9ZjjapMY beWHo98KcP0rv1ZzAlRHHiZ81VQCX9OYLR0cACoKiRlCRzGiDSbJzhBN2ReDf8/U kmeef2bKsABF5jGKsb7FSU+2xJLeeOiupF5WFY14zp+6uXDOw+WvOHG27TiKTCWR 4yooNomQv6qLG3eF0+LZdPKKtIPGuK5g5B9sLAdCWUuYmX7y0qVT/HNyNKe+FxaL HW8l5UD+cRKlKAPrsJUagnjP17HgEN3cppDOOUD3RSR93Ji/3sE2NJXJqv7FZd6q KqrL9zRZQnae5GTYs1jwyRrH6yWNVJyZhlnZTmBSbool8IDnL1pffJLf3QAymmc= =ilVe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
