I have a threaded gtk application. The threads create some gui (gtk

Occassionally I will get the message on stdout
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence #####)!
the ### is an x event sequence number
I am suspecting that this is because of the x calls from 2 different threads.
Is this a known problem?
Any way around this ? (I thought gtk was supposed to be thread ok :)
The answer depends on your defintions of `OK', `known' and
`problem':
- Gtk+ is thread-aware
- Gtk+ is not thread-safe
If you operate on the GUI from multiple threads:
- you are responsible for the locking on Unix/X
- it will just not work on MS Windows
See
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Threads.html
That threads_enter/threads_leave doesn't look so bad, since I'm not doing alot
of gtk withing my thread. Looks like it might be the way to go for me.
thanks for the pointer!

People typically operate on the GUI only from the main
thread (i.e. running gtk_main()) and pass work requests to
it via g_idle_add() or some other queue mechanism.
This topic is discussed here every other week, see the list
archives.
