No such thing as a GTK server application. If you have a specific coding problem with PCB, lets discuss that. I'm not going to dig into threaded programming issues when we don't have to worry about them. The fact GTK uses threads is an implementation detail as far as I can see. > I grepped gtk+-2.12.11 sources for relevant code and failed to find > anithing you mention. I'm not a GTK developer, but I do recall reading / noticing that the file-chooser backends may launch threads. Sorry I don't have any more information. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
