Deadlock problem when calling messagebox function with idle_add



Hi,

I have a function putMessageBox which shows a message box dialog like this (it's Python but I think it's not specific to that language):

...
dialog.run()
dialog.hide()
...


Calling the function normally from somewhere in the main thread works, but when I execute it with

def helper():
    putMessageBox(...)
gobject.idle_add(helper)


it deadlocks as soon as I press the OK button on the dialog. The dialog does not disappear, the buttons stays pressed and the complete application is stuck. Same with timeout_add, of course.

If I replace run() by show(), which of course shows the dialog only for some nanoseconds, the deadlock does not occur.

Do you know what the problem is??
