Re: Is there a way to make this work?

Hmm the age old problem ;)

        I would add a thread to do the heavy stuff
and an IO channel for the child thread to comunicate
with the main GUI thread and update the clist with 
the data read in the g_io_channel_add_watch callback.

        But you could do a number of things. just remember
that only one thread is allowed to update the GUI.
