Hi all, my first post here. Bear with me, I'm also new to Gtk...

Rather
 than posting alot of code I'll try to describe my problem on a more 
conceptual level and would like to hear if what I'm trying to do and how
 I go about it seems sound.

I have an industrial camera from 
which I can manage to grab and save to disk as many pictures as I like. I
 do this in a loop which resides in a callback function which is called 
when the take pictures button is clicked. Number of pictures to take is 
specified by the user in a GtkTextEntry. So far so good. What I also 
want is that a GtkImage-widget should be updated to immediately display 
each new picture. This doesn't happen. Only the last picture taken will 
be displayed and this happens exactly when the "take pictures"-button 
callback returns. I guess the gtk-main loop has my request for widget 
update [gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf(snapshot, pixbuf)] queued and will do 
my request after it's done with the callback. I've tried some functions 
like gtk_widget_show_now and gtk_widget_queue_draw right after the call 
to gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf(snapshot, pixbuf), to no avail, obviously.

Any suggestions would be so welcome!
