updating a progress bar

[mjaz <mjaz_the_mighty2 yahoo com>]

hello all,
I have a window that displays a list that takes a while to load(>1 Minute) and
I want to update a progress bar while it loads.
but the spot it takes a while to load at is in gtk_widget_show_all();.
I want to know how I can update a progress bar while it's in there?
I have tried using a timeout but I can't seem to get it to work.
It updates fine when the program does some heavy calculations then it stops
when the program goes into the gtk_widget_show_all() function
I'm using gtk-2.

thanks,
mjaz
