You can use the gtk_timeout_add function. But using a IO-notify 

mechanism should be more effective than reading the file every 10

minutes even if it didn't change.

There is a IO-notify mechanism in GTK (using gtk_input_add) 

and one in the GLib, using GIOChannels and the g_io_add_watch
function. I don't why there are both of them, but gtk_input_add
works fine.
