I've only come across it while looking for other things, but perhaps the GAsyncQueues stuff would be useful for thread-to-thread comms? http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Asynchronous-Queues.html You probably still need watch routines executing the the various event loops (guessing). rick jones still only learning this stuff himself. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
