Did you use the proper semiphores around GUI calls, or better yet use g_idle_add to schedule GUI updates in the main thread? http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gdk/gdk-Threads.html http://blog.borovsak.si/2009/06/multi-threaded-gtk-applications.html etc _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
