How do I do a delay?

[Sergei Naumov <serge astro unc edu>]

Hi!
I need to slow down my output, so I could have a control over the delay
time, and I was thinking about the best way to achieve this. I could use
gtk_timeout_add() that executes a function once in a certain period of time
but it is not quite like what I want and implementing a delay like that
would be clumsy, wouldn't it? Does anyone have any idea on how I can
achieve this?

Thanks
