I realize that I'm carrying on a conversation with myself here; however,
nothing new 'bout that, I do it all the time ;o)
Just in case anyone else is interested, the only way I can get this to work
correctly is to put a 100 millisecond timer in front of the call to
CheckForNotifies as in:
XtAppAddTimeOut (app, 100,
(XtTimerCallbackProc) CheckForNotifies, (XtPointer) ctrl);
Now the 1/10 second timer, on my notebook with 1.2 gigs of ram and a 1700 MHz
processor, works just fine for now; however, when this app rolls out into the
real world with 100 users pounding on it, will 1/10 of a second still be long
enough? And, why does it have to be there at all?
Points to ponder, or not...
