I can't :P 
Every time I try to search I get an error (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/
gtk-app-devel-list/).

A while back I sent one email (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/
gtk-app-devel-list/2004-April/msg00023.html) to the list, and Peter Krueger 
suggested the use of threads if the task was time consumming (http://
mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-app-devel-list/2004-April/msg00041.html). 

The GUI that I am building will download stuff from the internet, and while 
resolving, connecting and receiving data, it is not very responsive when not 
using threads.

Do you have a different suggestion?

Thanks,

Miguel
