Re: [gtk-list] Timers and queries..

You need to return FALSE from the timer function to keep
it going and TRUE to stop it. ( Or maybe it's the other way around -
check the docs. ) But anyway, you seem to have a _bare_ return
statement in a function that returns gint, so anything is
liable to happen! Compiling with -Wall would've caught
that, too; make it a permanent fixture in your Makefile! ;-)
