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

["yinglcs2 yahoo com" <yinglcs2 yahoo com>]

Thanks. But there is something I still don't quite
understand.

a GTK application has a main loop listen for any GTK
signals (for example to handle the close window
event), right?
But now if I make it to listen to an socket, how can
it listen but the socket and the GTK signals?

Thank you for any advice.
