| PS. could anyone recommend a good book on the 
programming of X cos I am really new to this and I am a bit confused with GTK+ 
GTK--, GDK, GIMP etc. etc. I am not sure what I should actually be 
using. Thanks Ian Hi I am trying to develop an application on Linux. 
This application has a GUI which I have implemented using GTK written in 
C++. The problem is that I have to periodically poll another application so a 
timer widget or something would be great but I don't think timers exist. 
Hopefully I am wrong and someone could point me in the right 
direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance |
