RE: [gtk-list] ANNOUNCE: GtkSheet-5.3

["Rostedt, Steven" <steven rostedt lmco com>]

I've noticed that using GtkSheet (on Slackware Linux 2.0.35 - XFree86 3.3.2
- GTK 1.0.6)
That if you click quickly (and randomly) around that when you destroy the
window
your receive the following messages:


** WARNING **: invalid cast from `(unknown)' to `GtkSheet'

** WARNING **: invalid cast from `(unknown)' to `GtkWidget'

** WARNING **: invalid cast from `(unknown)' to `GtkObject'

This is caused by the "timeout" calls in the gtk_sheet_button_pressed.
It seems that multiple clicks will cause the routine to be called before
a timeout is removed. When the routine is called again, the original
timeout is lost, thus causing the warning messages after the widget is 
destroyed.

I added a test to see if the timeout exists before creating a new one.
If one does, then I remove it.  This may not be the best implementation
but it was the only one I had time for. I haven't taken a look to see
what ramifications that this will cause.

Please take a look, and maybe someone could fix this better :)

> BRIEF DESCRIPTION
> =================
> 
> GtkSheet is a matrix where you can allocate cells of text.
> 
> Cell contents can be edited interactively with an specially designed
> entry, based on GtkEntry (so it has the same features).
> 
> You can parse text connecting a parser to the "set cell" signal.
> (See example 2 in the demo program)
> 
> You can change width, height, background color, foreground color, border
> color, border style, and many other attributes of the cells.
> (see examples in the demo program)
> 
> You can use the matrix as a browser with gtk_sheet_new_browser, and the
> cell contents could not be edited.
