If you want to use the "chew up events" trick, it works like this:
for (0..$one_hundred_beellyun_dollars) {
some_operation_that_takes_a_relatively_long_time();
# run the main loop a few times to update the ui.
Gtk2->main_iteration while Gtk2->events_pending;
}
Thanks for the clarification.
Rather than just blather on about how it should work, i decided to write a little proof of concept example. This code actually works; the scroll-to-bottom thing doesn't look so great, but i can't be arsed to figure out why, as it's getting late and i haven't been sleeping much lately. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader. :-)
Thank you for taking the time to write this code. I shall study it,
and understand. I have found that using setlinebuf(stdout) in my C
code works wonders too while tailing an output file.
