Re: [gtk-list] problem with threads and toggle button

[Edward March <emarch enteract com>]

	Can you use the mouse release to start the thread ? 
	if you have pause pressed down already seem like the
	thread should stop and perhaps wait for a mouse leave pause
	button event ? after all it cant start until the start button
	is pressed right ? so you would have to leave the pause!

	may life would be simplier with one button named
	Start and renamed to pause by the running thread.
	can you rename on the fly w/o problems ??
	start on the button rlease, rename the button and wait for
	another press and release, same buttons toggles start/pause

	just some ideas
	ed
