Re: fork problem

[Patrick Panke <panke rocketmail com>]

Hi,
I also have a problem using fork with GTK+.

I have a GTK-Program that forks off to start a lpr
then uses a pipe to send postscript to lpr.

How to I stop the lpr Process after Printing is done?
If I close the pipe on the GTK+ side,
I also get a Xlib async reply error and the
application hangs.

Any ideas?
