Thank you again!  That was exactly the answer :-)  The application does
not freeze at all now.

Excellent!


GPid pid;
gint stdout;
GIOChannel *gioout;
g_spawn_async_with_pipes( NULL, 
                ssh_command, 
                NULL, 
                G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH,
                NULL,
                NULL,
                &pid,
                NULL, &stdout, NULL,
                NULL );
gioout = g_io_channel_unix_new(stdout);
g_io_channel_set_flags(gioout, G_IO_FLAG_NONBLOCK, NULL);
g_io_channel_get_flags(gioout);
