hi all
i'm a complete newbie in developing with gtk, but yesterday i had an
idea about develope a gnome panel which could substitute conky..
In fact i'm in need of a panel that simply display the output of a bash
script..
well, after have googled a bit, i found a guide for implementing gnome
applet and here is the result

#include <string.h>
#include <panel-applet.h>
#include <gtk/gtklabel.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static gboolean on_button_press (GtkWidget *event_box, GdkEventButton
*event, GtkWidget* label){
        if (event->button != 1)
                return FALSE;
        else {
                FILE* fp;
                char line[160];
                fp = popen("~/scripts/allin1", "r");
                fgets( line, sizeof line, fp);
                pclose(fp);
                gtk_label_set_text (label,(const char*) line);
        }
        return TRUE;
}

static gboolean my_applet_fill (PanelApplet *applet, const gchar *iid,
gpointer data){
        FILE* fp;
        int pid;
        char line[160];
        GtkWidget *label;

        fp = popen("~/scripts/allin1", "r");
        fgets( line, sizeof line, fp);
        pclose(fp);

        label = gtk_label_new (line);
        gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (applet), label);

        g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT(applet), "button_press_event", G_CALLBACK
(on_button_press), label);

        gtk_widget_show_all (GTK_WIDGET (applet));


        return TRUE;
}

PANEL_APPLET_BONOBO_FACTORY ("OAFIID:my_applet_Factory",
PANEL_TYPE_APPLET, "Conky Porting", "0", my_applet_fill, NULL);

what i'm asking for is how could i refresh the label of the applet after
a fixed period of time... (now the applets refresh when mouse-clicked)
tnx in advance

Try whith g_timeout_add() or g_idle_add()
