You're correct that you must spin the main loop for callbacks to work. The default main loop is global, so gnome-vfs will be able to find it and add the callback even if it's not running or passed in. These days you should be using GIO/GVFS instead of gnome-vfs, though. Take a look at the documentation here: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/stable/ GIO is part of GLib. You can read more about main loops here: http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html -- Hans Petter _______________________________________________ gnome-vfs-list mailing list gnome-vfs-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-vfs-list
