[gtkmm] Real-time redraw

[Luis Pastor Vegas <lpastor gmv es>]

Hi,

I'm developing a real-time application using gtkmm-2.2.5. There are two 
threads, the GTK main loop thread and a CORBA thread that receives data 
from another application. This data is updated real-time calling to a 
Gtk::Label::set_text() method but the corresponding label is not redrawn 
until I move the cursor!!!

I have tried to call to "queue_draw()", "Gdk::flush", ..., and other 
recipes I have found in this discussion list but nothing has worked. The 
only thing it worked was to reimplement the "on_expose_event()" method 
in the toplevel widget calling to "queue_draw" and "propagate_expose()" 
for every child, but this let the X process consuming almost 100% CPU.

Can anybody give me some clue?

Thanks a lot.
