Yes, that is correct. :)
Does your special function take time to do its job? If so, then that
would be why. For example:
...
while(1) {
gdk_threads_enter();
sleep(1)
gdk_threads_leave();
sleep(10)
};
...
you'd freeze your app for a second every 10 seconds.
Ahh, ok. How else can I accomplish my goal, then? I need to give GTK the lock, as I'm calling GDK from another function not in the main GTK loop. I tried leaving out gdk_threads_enter()/leave() in the CPU-intensive function, but X gives me errors.
