You don't need to poll: in your non-GUI thread you can call
g_idle_add, and the callback will be executed by the main GUI thread
'soon'.
Eg.:
worker_fn() {
for(;;) {
void *stuff = g_malloc( .... );
calculate_stuff( stuff );
g_idle_add( update_with_stuff, stuff );
}
}
Then this will run from the GUI thread and can do any gtk:
static gboolean update_with_stuff( viud *stuff ) {
update_gui( stuff );
g_free( stuff );
}
I guess you might need something to stop the queue getting too big.
