You should have a look at the function gdk_input_add(). It allows your
GTK app to receive i/o events on any number of file descriptors. It
basically provides you with a hook into the Xwindows select call, so if
you understand how select() works, you shouldn't have any trouble
getting
gdk_input_add() to work for you.
Hope this helps,
Darin
