Re: socket and gtk problem, help!

[Olivier Nenert <onenert condumex com mx>]

Instead of having a while, you could have a gtk_timeout with the timw you
think is Ok, 50 or 100ms in which you make your select, also with a timeout
(I'd say a lower one)
Or, as I do it myself and it worked fine so far, you could create a
GIOChannel (=g_io_channel_unix_new(socket)))
then add a watcher for this channel for G_IO_READ, and whatever you want,
and have your code doing something whenever you have "activity" on that
socket be execute in the watcher callback...
have a look at GIOChannel in the GLib reference
(developer.gnome.org->doc->API reference)

cheers...

Olivier.
