I think you should avoid fork and use one of the functions glib provide to spawn processes ( http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-Spawning-Processes.html), or a thread if you need to simply call a function. In general using fork() in a GUI program is a bad idea. -- Bye, Gabry _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
