Re: Question about callbacks and Gnome Appbar

[Havoc Pennington <hp redhat com>]

Hi,

If your app isn't multithreaded then it can't redraw and popen() at
the same time, you will need to manually set up pipes, fork, and exec
while reading the data off of input callbacks (gdk_input_add() or
g_io_add_watch()). Check www.gtk.org/faq/ for some advice on updating
progress bars and also on threads. Check a UNIX book like Stevens or
Linux Application Devleopment or Beginning Linux Programming for more
details on doing a popen-type-thing yourself, if you aren't familiar
with it.
