Re: starting up the app

[Brian Clark <bc viz tamu edu>]

Sorry.  I wasn't clear.
I understand that's how to get them to go.  I planned on emitting a  
signal, or even just calling the function directly.  But my question is  
how to automatically call it one time and only one time after the  
windows are set up, since the app is in its main loop and only responds  
to events.

The only thing I can think of is to have a mouse motion event and a  
flag that says whether it's been called or not.  When the user touches  
the mouse, if it hasn't happened yet, the open dialog comes up, and the  
flag get set so it doesn't happen again.  But that's REALLY cheesy.

Is there some kind of signal or event that happens when the gtk app is  
finished setting up that says "ok.  ready to go" ?

Thanks,
bc
