/**** Ok, I have now revised it as follows ***/

void input_callback( gpointer          data,
                     gint              source, 
                     GdkInputCondition condition )
{
  gchar *mesg;
  mesg =data;
  g_print("Got something.\n");
}

main()
.........
gint gdk_input_add( fileno(stdin),
                    GTK_INPUT_READ,
                    (GtkInputFunction) input_callback,
                    gpointer          data );
.............

But it still does not invoke that function call. My
purpose is that at least the function be called. Then
I can start thinking of something else.

I wish, it is called again and again :-)
My problem is that it is not being called at all :-(

May be I failed to explain myself. I have been doing
programming in c for last 10 years. In fact, recently,
,I have written a multi-threaded, multiplexed (stdin
and socket input), multicast application in
transmission of video image with RTP protocol.
So, I hope, I have adequate experience.

Thanks for bearing with me, and listening to my, may
be foolish questions.

Bye and I shall wait for your answer. At least you are
responding , others are not.

bye
