That did help (I think I still have an unrelated leak). I think a few things could be made more clear in the docs (I'm not 100% sure I'm correct either): -A newly created source (from g_idle_source_new() ) has a reference count of 1 not 0. -g_source_attach() increases the reference count by 1 -returning FALSE in a source callback function detaches the source from the source's attached main context, and decreases the reference count by 1 -Once a source has been detached by source callback function returning FALSE, it can not be reattached g_source_attach(). An assertion error is thrown. You can however, decrease the source's reference count down to 0 so it will free itself, then create a fresh source. -- www.thomasstover.com FLYNN LIVES! _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
