Hi,
I want to display a message dialog from a thread B running parallel to
the Gtk main thread A (it's a thread invoked by the async transfer
methods from gnome-vfs). When running the dialog directly, the program
locks up, which is what I expected since Gtk is not thread safe.
So I downloaded the nautilus source code to see how they do it but they
open the dialog directly in a function which is not called from the Gtk
main thread using eel_run_simple_dialog() (I also downloaded the eel
sources and I couldn't find anything related to thread tunneling and
dialogs in the respective functions).
How come it works for them without dispatching the call to the main
thread, but not for me? I already started to implement the mechanics to
synchronize both threads, but it's really a lot of code just to show a
dialog from a second thread... Am I missing something?
Regards,
Matthias
