Could someone explain me exacly how these functions work?  I have looked
in the GTK+ reference but it isn't documented :-(
I'm quite a novice to GTK and i don't wanna use code that i don't
understand.  Someone also told me to use  

gtk_main_iteration_do(FALSE);

What is the difference with the first solution?

Tnx.
