Re: long calculation

["Michael Rothwell" <rothwell holly-springs nc us>]

I would probably open a pipe to a helper application, and use GTK's
IOChannel facilities to interact with it (receive status updates, etc).
Threads are hard to debug, and probably overkill for what you want. I think
fork() may cause problems with GTK apps... might want to ask around about
that, though.
