Re: GTK and threads

[kornelix <kornelix yahoo de>]

This FAQ entry is where I started from. My first attempt at making 
threads work resulted in all threads running one after the other, in 
series instead of in parallel, because I was locking the whole thread 
with gdk_threads_enter() at the beginning. I "progressed" to trying to 
lock only the gtk/gdk calls in order to restore the parallelism. I am 
still trying to make it work, but creating bugs like the one I described 
earlier (two calls to gdk_threads_enter() in the same thread results in 
lockup).

regards
