Re: GUI very slow when sleep() called...

["Michael T. Babcock" <mbabcock fibrespeed net>]

You could replace it with a function that sleeps and calls gtk refreshes ...

I don't remember the function calls off-hand, but, in pseudo-code

my_sleep(long int milliseconds) 
{
    end_time = now() + milliseconds;
    do {
        if (gtk_msgs_waiting) gtk_msgs_do();
        now_time = now();
    } loop until (now_time >= end_time);
}

Sorry ... just rushed that out ... 1052 E-mails to go.
