Re: Can I listen on a socket in a GTK application?

["Dov Grobgeld" <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

Hi,

(I'm moving the discussion back to gtk-list as I didn't actually mean
to send it private. Hope it is ok with you.)

Regarding your question, yes, gtk_main() is really a wrapper to
g_main_run(main_loop), so everything that is valid for g_main_loop()
is valid for gtk_main() as well. Just set up your gnet callback
handlers and then call gtk_main().

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dov
