showing your code could help but using threads is not easy. Either you confine all your GUI stuff to one thread or you have to make sure there's only one thread using gtk+ at a time Note also that there's issues with glib that might be related: It creates threads under our neck and they may well call gtk code. It notably creates threads for network related stuff. Why it's bad? Think about: - at_exit() calls that register actions - signals that land in glib threads (I suffered quite a lot with SIG_CHLD) There're other libraries that create threads behind our back (eg: webkit) The more, the merrier... :-( It can make single thread apps to segfault. So for a mulithread app... _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
