Re: [gtk-list] foreground processes

[Joe Pfeiffer <pfeiffer cs nmsu edu>]

   In my case I have a large bitmap  -- array of chars and iteration
   process, that changes it. After each change I need my DrawingArea to be
   redraw (drawingarea is just an interface to bitmap). And I need this
   process to be stoped when I want.

This sounds like a program that wants a

	while (m->events_pending() > 0)
		m->iteration();

loop inserted in your main updating loop.
