dialog from within a thread

[Peter Van Osta <pvosta unionbio-eu com>]

Hi,

I would like to do a "gnome_dialog_run_and_close( GNOME_DIALOG( 
gnome_ok_dialog( "TEXT" ) ) )" from within a thread created "detached" ( 
pthread_attr_setdetachstate( &thread_attr, PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED ) ).

But this does not seem possible as I get an error that only 1 "main" can 
exist ? The thread runs detached form the main process and I want to 
keep it that way in order not to block the main process while a very 
long procedure runs in the thread. Polling in the main processfor the 
thread would use resources.

Best regards,

Peter Van Osta
