Hrmm... so, does this fix that gtk/glib 1.1.x segfault bug in gEdit then?
(if so, it seems Debian doesnt have this poll() thing either.. havent
checked)..
if this works, does anyone mind if i merge it into the glib cvs tree?

(one confusing thing is, this bug doesnt appear in ANY other app.. only gedit
(and gqmpeg))... weird..
