What is the right list, so I can post there?

So, I've to understand better the timer... Anyway a last question:
My actual goal is to call a function at an interval, but with
different parameters every interval. Specifically, the parameters are
the time of the last call to the function (or a specfied time) and the
current time (or a specified time). Is it possible with
g_timeout_add??
