Visibility of pop_up windows

[Colin Thomas <colin designresources co uk>]

Hi,

I have been writing an application, which has pop_up windows when a
warning need to be displayed.

There seems to be a scheduling issue with the windows painting.

When the pop_up window is invoked, just a grey outline is painted. The whole
window does not get repainted until the function calling it has completed
and the code is in "idle" state. This can be a few minutes, so the display
looks unprofessional

How can I get the pop_up window to paint "in-full" before anything else 
occurs? At present I am creating and then invoking  gtk_widget_show 
on the pop_up window.

I look forwar dtoi your collective thoughts..

Best regards

Colin Thomas
