Gtk and threads

[Aaron Digulla <digulla wi-pc44 fh-konstanz de>]

No, this is no question if Gtk supports threads. I have a threaded
application which doesn't work as it should. The symptoms are like
this:

My app calls gtk_clist_set_text () but the new text never shows
up on the screen.

I added lots of debug printf()s and finally came up with this result
which I don't understand:

Gtk stops in the select() in gdk.c. When CList draws something, then
the select() *doesn't* come back !! Gtk hangs there infinitely. When
I add a gtk_threads_wake() at the end of draw_row() in gtkclist.c,
then the GUI is ok for the CList but button highlighting doesn't
work.

Surely, this is not what should happen ? Why doesn't select() return
on the X events ?
