So ok, to recap, the hildon_gtk_window_take_screenshot only sends a DBUS message to the window manager, but the application still is kind of locked while taking the screenshot (I notice a small slowness when taking the screenshot for the first time). Anyway, a thread wouldn't help at all and as we now know it's also not needed. I think the best would be to have a way to retrieve the screenshot path so that we can check for it's existence before taking a new one (thus we wouldn't be checking it in a static path as we do now), instead of hildon_gtk_window_take_screenshot checking for its existence. -- anidel _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
