Do you mean "real time" as in "the program is running at the same time as your
Glade program, and they interact back and forth", or do you mean the usual
computer-science meaning of the phrase "real time" as in "this program has
specific critical timing constraints" (such as if it doesn't respond to an
interrupt in 50 milliseconds, the chemical plant blows up)

Doing *real* "real-time" programming in the Linux kernel isn't as easy as it
looks, as there's lots of latency-inducing locks inside the kernel and the
like. Ingo Molnar has been doing some work in this area, but there's still
quite a ways to go before it's a hardened real-time operating system.
