Re: [gtk-list] Re: gdk_threads_enter is not reentrant

[Noel Burton-Krahn <noel burton-krahn com>]

Thanks Sebastian, I look forward to your changes.  One thing I should
mention: when you make gdk_threads_enter() reentrant, you should add
functions to release all locks no matter what depth you're at.
Consider this code:

    func1() {
	gdk_threads_enter();

	func2() {
	   gdk_threads_enter();

	   // I need to relase all GDK locks temporarily.
	   // gdk_thread_leave() won't do it since I'm two 
	   // locks deep
	   lock_depth = gdk_threads_leave_depth();

	   ...

	   gdk_threads_enter_depth(lock_depth);
	}
    }

IIRC?
