not that i'm sure the above code will work anyway, but just for
starters, you can't use GTK without a call to gtk_init(). even then, i
suspect this is not going to do what you want. gtk_main_do_event() is
"application-local". it does not send events to other instances of the
X event loop (i.e. other processes). there are ways to do this, but i
don't know how to with GTK itself.
