RE: App doesn't quit

["Hugues Bernard" <hugo bernard worldonline fr>]

It seems the main loop is *asleep* until gdk get an events (?)

Anyway, it works with gtk_exit(0), in place of gtk_main_quit.

Example using it with gthread below (so it compiles under win32 too :D)
(
BTW, GURUS, is it the RIGHT WAY (or not so bad) to use gthread ?????
Thanks in advance
)

Ciao
