Re: [Evolution-hackers] Getting libebook working (1.4.5)

[John Spiegel <mithrir yahoo com>]

Thank you much!  I finally am crash free.  The
following code works.  Is there some documentatin
somewhere that relates the various initializers that
need to be called and the order they need to come in?

Now that I'm not crashing, it seems my callback
function isn't getting called back.  Do I need to
sleep (I tried sleeping to no avail) or enter this
into a glib main loop or something?

Thanks a bunch!
John
