dynamic socket descriptor management

["Frank W. Miller" <fwmiller cornfed com>]

Hello,

Well, I've got a multi-threaded softphone GNOME client up and limping.  
I'm having some trouble writing to a socket.  The client seems to lock 
up when I try to do it from a thread.  I'm wondering whether I need to 
make use of gtk_input_add().  Trouble is, the socket I want to write to 
is "dynamic".  This means the user can change UDP ports and therefore 
cause the socket to be opened and closed on demand.  What are the 
implications for GNOME for doing this?  I've read that gtk_input_add() 
needs to be called before gtk_main().  This would clearly be violated by 
what I'm trying to do.

Thanks,
FM
