So unfair ! You dodged this bug by sending it back to me :'( Anyway, I think nobody tested this case in the past, that may explain why it doesn't work. There is 2 secret calls that are mandatory in this scenario : eina_main_loop_define and ecore_fork_reset, but it doesn't seems to enough. In fact I have some idea why it is not enough. Many fd are still shared by both side of the main loop and things can really go wrong there. May I recommend an alternative ? Look at elementary/srb/bin/quicklaunch.c code and maybe follow it. The only think lacking is to call a custom function instead of one that elm_quicklaunch get from a binary. Maybe this should be added to elm_quicklaunch infra. -- Cedric BAIL PS: Yes, I know I am trying to dodge that issue... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
