It's almost always best to only have a single GUI thread in a gtk application, in my experience. Use non-modal dialogs if you want your app to continue to function while a dialog is being displayed. If you have a long task which shouldn't block the GUI, put it in a background thread and use g_idle_add() to have it signal the main thread when it's done. I posted some example code to do this a little while ago: http://old.nabble.com/g_main_loop-and-g_async_queue-td21288177.html (scroll down a bit) John _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
