You can try, but good luck ..... when *I* tried, I was told that they couldn't 
help me without code samples -  "Unfortunately, we can't do much about it 
without having seen code. My suspicion is that you just proved that C is 
error prone."

And I got THAT from somebody who's email address was gnome-de.org. Last I 
checked, gnome was written in C :-)

Unfortunatly, I worked around the problem by going with the native windows API 
(urk). I'm able to do without gnet a lot easier than I'm able to do without 
the gtk libraries.

Try posting to the gtk list, and address Tor Lillqvist directly. I saw a 
thread archived *somewhere* where this exact behaviour was discussed, but 
unfortunatly I didn't save the links. Basiclly, Tor said he wasn't able to 
reproduce anything, so there was nothing to fix as far as he was concerned. 
Maybe if your code gives him the same problem, we can get it addressed.

I'll keep an eye out for your posts
