Re: Problems with GtkButton & GtkText

[Matt Gerginski <mattgerg users sourceforge net>]

As for the button thing... did you try running it through gdb?  The only
time my GUI freezes without producing any warnings is when the UI
reaches an infinite loop.  GDB may help you pin-point the problem.
Also, try putting a print statement after you set the widget
sensitivity, and see if it ever reaches that point at all.
