Tnx i think that the first one is the function i'm in need of; by the
way i cant' make it work, and my gnome panel crashs everytime i run the
applet, so i think there is some problems with memory:
well, i've got:
const char* data (as argoment of a function)
char *std_out (created in the function)
g_spawn_command_line_sync(data, std_out, NULL, NULL, NULL);
is this call right? i think not...but why??
tnx again
