	It's from the original.  As I said in the last post, my
handler reset the notifications and then starts up the next request,
which also sets the file descriptors to get notification of whatever
it needs, so you tend to get these things in lots of two.  I can see a
way to work around this, but I'm pointing it out as a probable bug.

	I guess I just write weird code ;-)

	If this is too difficult to fix, can I suggest that a warning
against lots of fiddling around with gdk_input_* in handlers is
mentioned in the tutorial/documentation.
