Why does not my statusbar msg's display in time ?

[Magnus Wirström <asd mail bip net>]

Hi Again !!!

I have a problem .... I am trying to get a message in a statusbar before
I am calling a system() command... well ... it looks something like this
:

....
    gnome_app_flash(GNOME_APP(app), "Message");
    system("consol command");
....

Well... this should not be a problem... but the consol command I am
running is taking some time to execute so I want the message to be
displayed before it runs it. In some way it ends up in not displaying
the message before it execute the system() command, but after it instead
... do anyone have an idea why ? or another way to do this that might
work better ? Or should I put some kind of delay in there before I run
the system() command? I tried sleep(10); but it didn't work !

Thanks =)
