Okay I found a workaround:
def helper():
*gtk.gdk.threads_enter()*
putMessageBox(...)
* gtk.gdk.threads_leave()*
gobject.idle_add(helper)
But why do I have to do that? Note that I call the above from the main
thread, no multithreading involved. Please can somebody explain why this
is necessary?

Hi,
I have a function /putMessageBox/ which shows a message box dialog
like this (it's Python but I think it's not specific to that language):
...
dialog.run()
dialog.hide()
...
Calling the function normally from somewhere in the main thread works,
but when I execute it with
def helper():
putMessageBox(...)
gobject.idle_add(helper)
it deadlocks as soon as I press the OK button on the dialog. The
dialog does not disappear, the buttons stays pressed and the complete
application is stuck. Same with timeout_add, of course.
If I replace run() by show(), which of course shows the dialog only
for some nanoseconds, the deadlock does not occur.
Do you know what the problem is??
