And to make the point for David, you can do the same in the C GTK+/glib libraries, by abandoning threads and instead setting up an asynchronous watch on the socket using a GIOChannel with g_io_channel_add_watch(). However, even better than that is to use gio's high level GSocketListener and GSocketConnection, and read on the contained GInputStream asynchronously using g_input_stream_read_async().
