So he can open trees, doubleclick, use menu items and even stop the scan. I don't kow if I could do this simply running Gtk2->main_iteration..
Sure you can! You see, the Gtk2->main function does almost exactly
Gtk2->main_iteration_do(1) while !quit_requested
The quit_requested is not called like it and it is a member of the
mainlooo and main_iteration_do is inlined there, but otherwise it's the
same. The main_iteration_do(1) waits for events if none are pending,
while with 0, or without the do it exits immendiately. So running code
that invokes main_iteration periodically is just like running in main
directly.
