progress bar doesn't pulse...

[Bart Vandewoestyne <Bart VandewoestyneNOSPAM pandora be>]

Somewhere in my app, i hava a separate thread that does some stuff in a
while loop:


  while (!stopped) {
    
    get_media_packet(s, packet_length);
    g_message("PULSING BAR!!!");
    gtk_progress_bar_pulse (GTK_PROGRESS_BAR (pbar));

    if (stopped) {
      close (output_fh);
      close (s);
    }


I can see the wile loop is being looped because i see the "PULSING BAR"
message passing along in my xterm.  Unfortunately, i don't see my
progress bar pulsing... (im some very few of the cases, it *does*
occasionally happen, but most of the time not) although I can be 100%
sure it executes the call to gtk_progress_bar_pulse().

I didn't setup any fancy stuff for such as step size, i've just created
it at some other place in my app using gtk_progress_bar_new().

What is wrong here?

Greetzzz,
