I agree with you party. But this program has to process datas that come
in every cycle and I have to synchronize it. I tried it with the
standart gtk_main() function and my program crashed. I also found
somewhere that GTK in NOT threadsave, so I had to think of a workaround
... and this works (for me, at least).
