I am using gdk_input_add just fine with sockets, and I assume files will
work just as well.  Are you putting "input_callback" in quotes?  That
argument is a GdkInputFunction, NOT a char *.  Try the following:

gdk_input_add( fd, GDK_INPUT_READ, (GdkInputFunction) input_callback, NULL );

and see if that fixes your problem.
