Hello,

In an app I'm writing I have to put a usleep(100000) call in my
code. However when I do this my gui becomes very slow and unresponsive -
understandibly since I'm doing it in the gtk_main loop...

Is there a way to sleep but refresh the gui at the same time?

Thanks,
Cyrus

Threads would be one way, although they can be not very portable and
pretty icky.  See "$ man pthread_create" and the GTK.org FAQ question on
writing threaded GTK+ applications.
