No No No. This NEVER happens the way I program. In the worst case you have to reset the state machine in the other program with a |restart| and then you are back in buissines again. /gh -- Göran Hasse Raditex Control AB OrgNr: 556611-8773 email: gorhas@xxxxxxxxxx tel: 019-450105 mob: 070-5530148 _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
