Hi everyone, - firstly sorry if I don't follow standard conventions I'm new to this, and sorry if im asking an answered q, I searched a bit (its so large!) but couldn't find it.
I'm running a timeout to animate a drawing area before the window is closed or another window is presented on top (basically i want 'wipe' the UI images out of the screen). I want the main program to cease execution until the timeout function has completed. I kind of achieved this by looping another main loop iteration until i set an 'animation complete' variable (at the final timeout call). However the timeout function is calling gdk drawing functions which seem to be queed or something in the background - not executed straight away. Thus after the timeout completes, there are still 'drawing calls' in the background, so when I destroy the window I get segmentation faults as it is trying to draw on something which no longer exists (even though i thought the drawing would have already been completed). Is there any relatively easy way to hault the execution of my widget destroy and window present functions until i am certain the drawing is finished? Or is there any better way of doing this - ie animating (note: i really don't want to call the present and destroy functions IN the timeout due to my program structure)?
