Re: g_io_channel_add_watch

[Tristan Van Berkom <vantr touchtunes com>]

        An IO channel needs an open file descritpor.
How do you manage that in windows ? I assume you need to
use a socket instead of a named pipe. (I'm guessing
you need a simple IPC). I'm absolutly clueless in
the Win environmentbut I know that g_io_channel_add_watch
needs to have an open file descriptor if its ever going
to perform select() poll() or whatever it does.

Good luck!
