Subject: XLib: unexpected async reply
gnome_dialog Hell
Hi all
I have developed an application that talks to two
other applications via XML. I have created a GUI using GTK+ to display the
responses from the other apps and embedded a timer to send requests. The
problem is I developed the app single threaded and then found out that it was
too slow. So created a couple of threads to communicate with the other apps
and update the screen. I then stuck all the GTK related stuff including
gtk_main(); in a separate thread and all my widgets in a structure hidden in a
namespace that is accessible to the entire app. In main() I then create all
the threads and run em. (Forgive me if this sounds messy but I am still
quite new to GTK+ and even newer to multi-threading stuff). Everything
seems to run smoothly up until I try to create a message box from one of the
threads responsible for messaging. This is when I get the XLib problem. I've
tried using gdk_threads_enter() and leave and it hasn't made any difference.
Anyone got any ideas??
Cheers
