I can't figure out why my gui becomes sluggish. I have a main window with a bunch of vboxes and hboxes - in one area, I don't put in a widget - because I load glade.xml files (so you can swap your views). I should say that I have some custom widgets, and I've been pulling them out so I can see if the fault lies in my code or not. But, when the application is first run, everything is fast. If I leave it up for a few hours (or overnight) - it becomes very slow. Even the mouse over of a button highlight takes 5 or 6 seconds. I'm assuming that the fault lies in my custom widgets, and that they are calling redraw too much, so it creates a "back-log" of redraws in the gtk even queue. But I don't know how to look at the event queue to determine the true cause. I've run the debugger and stopped it a bunch of times, but that's hit or miss. Is there anyway to examine the queue in a debugger? This application is designed for showing information - not really processing user/gui events. As data comes in, it updates different displays. I've played around with the frequency of updating the gui and that doesn't seem to help (even 1 second per gui update becomes slow). The custom widgets I wrote can run overnight without delay when I code them into an application - so I'm starting to think that maybe the xml parser or how gtk handles the xml widgets might be the culprit. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide - I can't seem to get this one, and I don't know what else to try. Mark
