Re: gtk_widget_show() not showing window

[James Scott Jr <skoona verizon net>]

Paul,

I am not sure if you got an answer, so here is my expectation - am I am
no expert.  
GTK _show/_hide api have an impact on the expose or painting function of
gtk widgets.  This effect is a consolidation of area needing repaint as
a result of many factors.  Thus a _show_all. _hide, and _show should be
netted to the effect of a single  gtk_widget_show(); unless there is an
opportunity to process the gtk_main() loop in between calls; and I
didn't see that.
Is this your experience?

James,
