How to run during "idle" in the main loop ?

[Han <keepsimple gmail com>]

Hi,

I am writing a new app using GTK+, but I am new to GTK+.  I have a
question:  how do I execute code during the "idle" state of a window
or dialog?

I understand I can use g_signal_connect to run some code for certain
signals & events,  but how about "idle" ?  particularly,  I wanted to
run something in the dialog main loop after a dialog is shown, but
before any OK/cancel button is clicked.


thanks in advance.
Han
