You have to lock to queue draw, but then the actual drawing happens in the main thread, and the queue_draw should result in installing an idle handler which should result in waking up the main thread if the main thread was blocking. g_idle_add() is intended to be thread safe I believe. (It locks the GMainContext for you.) Havoc _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
