But I realy NEED to create a longlived process (running for a week or month) and be able to quit the GUI whenever I like. The glib is just a wrapper - and i don't se the solution... I realy WANT to lose contact with the child process. And there is to mutch data from the GUI to pass it on the command line... -- Göran Hasse ---------------------------------------------------------------- Göran Hasse email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 019-450105 Raditex AB http://www.raditex.se Planiavägen 15, 1tr Mob: 070-5530148 131 34 NACKA, SWEDEN OrgNr: 556240-0589 VAT: SE556240058901 ------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
