Re: [gtk-list] Respawning idle functions...

[Juan Toledo <toledo users sourceforge net>]

Don't bother trying to answer my question on the list.
I solved it on my own yesterday. Notice the question is from Thursday,
but the list has been behaving weird lately.

Thanks for taking your time, specially Havoc. :-)

In case anybody is interested, this is how I solved it. I used glib
timeouts directly in the full version, so that new idles or timeouts are
only added in the destruction notification.

Regards,
Juan.

destroying_timeout (gpointer data)
{
/* g_message ("A timeout function has been destroyed"); */
  diagram_timeout = g_idle_add_full (G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,
                                     (GtkFunction) update_diagram,
                                     data, (GDestroyNotify)
destroying_idle);
  is_idle = TRUE;
}

destroying_idle (gpointer data)
{
/*   g_message ("An idle function has been destroyed"); */
