Bug description:
Binary package hint: libgtk2-ruby
In Ubuntu 9.10 with the version of libgtk2-ruby from the repositories (0.19.0),
new threads cause the Gtk main loop to freeze. As an example, the following
code will never produce any output:
require 'gtk2'
Thread.new do
sleep 1 # Look busy
exit # Finished, exit
end
# Main loop
loop do
# Process all currently pending events
Gtk.main_iteration while Gtk.events_pending?
print '.'
end
However, when the latest version of the bindings is installed (0.19.3) the
program works as expected, filling the screen with dots.
