Re: Something to triger

Two ways to do this (that I can think of)

Add a timeout to populate the list.
ie.
$timer = Glib::Timeout->add($interval, \&populate_list)
or put

while (Gtk2->events_pending) {
   Gtk2->main_iteration;
}

Just before the &populate_list() to finish displaying the window before 
populating.
