That is probably what you have to do. If I understand what your code does (and how) then while gvim is running your app is *not*. Your app is blocked and waits until gvim terminates. The same for espeak. You need to use a function such as g_spawn_async() to execute it. Then it depends how you communicate with the programs. If you just want to know when it terminates use waitpid().
