splash window

[Sergio Rua <srua esware com>]

Hello,

        I have a problem with a splash window. My program, on startup,
        make a big list for a 4 or 5 seconds. I'm trying to put at this
        moment a splash window like "Starting, please wait..." but when
        the program runs, splash window looks gray, without the pixmap.

        When the "list" finished, the splash window appear for a second.
        The program make something like this:

====
        create_splash_window;

        create_big_list;

        main_window;
        
        hide_splash_window;

        Gtk::main(Gtk);
====


        How can I do the splash window visible all the time?


Un saludo,
