[Gtk-sharp-list] Gtk Idle handler and Win32.

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

[ I added Jon which reported this in the past as well ]

I am unable to reproduce the problem with Mono 1.1.6:

I wrote a small Gtk# program and am running Mono 1.1.6, and the Idle
handler is working just fine for me.

To compile use:

        mcs -pkg:gtk-sharp t.cs

To run:

        mono t.exe

Maybe you have an old version of Mono installed?   

Miguel.

	static void Main ()
	{
		Application.Init ();
		Window w = new Window ("a");
		l = new Label ("A");
		GLib.Idle.Add (new IdleHandler (i));
		w.Add (l);
		w.ShowAll ();
		Application.Run ();
	}

	static bool i ()
	{
		l.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString ();
		return true;
	}
