An idea:

#define SECS (5) /* 5 seconds timeout */
int timeout_id;
int timeout_period=1000*SECS;

timeout_func(gpointer data)
{
*data=TRUE;
gtk_timeout_remove(timeout_id);
}



function_get_file()
{
int timeout_flag=0;

timeout_id=gtk_timeout_add(timeout_period,timeout_func,(gpointer)&timeout_flag);
while(!tiemout_flag)
        {
                get_file_contents;
                ...
        }       
}

Regards.Juan.
