I'm in need of setting up a loop that checks for messages
from a virtual TTY and displays the
message once it comes in. Since Clutter.main() hogs the main
thread, setting up a normal thread from the main thread does
nothing. Setting up a separate process circumvents this, but I
see no way of
passing the message back to the main thread which has the
stage handle etc.
Is it possible to use a ClutterEvent or signals for this?
I've managed to implement a working version using a
time-line that signals a a check
for new messages every 0.1 seconds, but if would be way
cleaner to have an actor or whatever
that emits a signal when a message is on queue.
Any takers for this? I guess really the question is how
to subclass some event class and override or create a new
signal method..
