Hi! I'm using Python for this: I'm in need of setting up a loop that checks for messages from a virtual TTY and displays the message once it comes in. Since Clutter.main() hogs the main thread, setting up a normal thread from the main thread does nothing. Setting up a separate process circumvents this, but I see no way of passing the message back to the main thread which has the stage handle etc.
Is it possible to use a ClutterEvent or signals for this? I've managed to implement a working version using a time-line that signals a a check for new messages every 0.1 seconds, but if would be way cleaner to have an actor or whatever that emits a signal when a message is on queue. Any takers for this? I guess really the question is how to subclass some event class and override or create a new signal method.. Kind regards, -Elias
