Currently I'm trying to read a file that gets updated asynchronously.
gtk_timeout_add() seems to cause racing conditions.  gdk_input_add() locks

works?

P.S.
I've seen some messages regarding gdk_input_add() which advise against using
it to monitor a file (i.e. it will always have data for reading, etc).  Can
anyone comment on this?


What do you mean exactly by racing conditions?
