Hello,
	I really hate to ask for help over the same problem this many times, but i really dont know how to get this done right. I've tried just about everything. here's one of the many ways i tried
	
	gtk_widget_draw(label);
	while(!GTK_WIDGET_VISIBLE(label));
	while(gtk_event_pending())
		gtk_main_iteration();
	gdk_flush();

	I also had while(gtk_event_pending())
			gtk_main_iteration(); all over inside the processing code like suggested. So as far as gtk concerns , the request for drawing this label is sent to the server?. I also put while(!GTK_WIDGET_VISIBLE(label)) all over the place..One lasthing i'd like to t
ry is to do XSync() myself, but i have trouble getting *display out of GtkWidget *. Can you show me the cast to get *display out of the GtkWidget struct if thats possible?, or any other way to make sure that the label is drawn before it goes to the proces
sing codes. I dont know if you have tested the codes i previously posted. It behaves like this: the label is shown about 2-3 times, then just misteriously disappeared after that. The window's created and all, the label just isnt drawn on it. Again, thank 
you for your patience.
