Beware of a race condition there. There won't be any drawing until events get back from the server, and that won't be immediate, especially for the usual case that a new window goes to the window manager and back. If the splash is covered over and re-exposed it'll need redrawing too, hence the hands-off background pixmap idea. Personally for startup I've tried to get the main window showing early, then fill in the guts of it, rather than a splash. But that only works on a pre-determined window size, like 3/4 of the screen. If the size will be based on the content widgets it's no good. _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
