Spot on Hrvoje, that's my problem, many thanks for the help. I'll have
to change the way I'm thinking.
The classic hack to update the progress bar without returning to the
main loop is by running:
while (gtk_events_pending())
gtk_main_iteration()
Still, be careful with this code because it can also trigger other
queued events, such as user input, in places where you don't expect it.
A better approach is to structure your code so that a long-standing task
is done in a separate thread, which uses idle_add to tell the GUI thread
to update the progress bar (and anything else that might need updating).
