Weel, try to guess :).
As I noticed in previous e-mail Dispatcher was not even linked into
libglibmm on Win32.
Problem was found in MsgWaitForMultipleObjects() call when we "switched"
dispatcher on. Probably, pipes that dispatcher is creating under UNIX
and under WIN32 is different... I haven't looked at code closely, but my
friends wonder if you may use GLIB functions to manipulate pipes in
Dispatcher class. Should GLIB take care about compatibility then for
you?
