GUI very slow when sleep() called...

[cyrusp cia com au]

Hello,

In an app I'm writing I have to put a usleep(100000) call in my
code. However when I do this my gui becomes very slow and unresponsive - 
understandibly since I'm doing it in the gtk_main loop... 

Is there a way to sleep but refresh the gui at the same time?

Thanks,
Cyrus
