I used the gdk_threads_enter/gdk_threads_leave pair, but it did not work. It does not work even when the whole creation of the hierarchy is within the gdk_threads_enter/gdk_threads_leave pair.
I am able to get it to work without using GtkEntry instead of GtkTextView if I call the function in main(). However, as I pointed out, it works if I replace the GtkTextView with a GtkEntry within each cell of the table. -Ferdinand --- On Wed, 1/30/13, Edscott Wilson <edscott.wilson.gar...@gmail.com> wrote: > The current method for calling gtk_xx > instructions is from the main thread > only (i.e., that which owns the main loop context).
