public static void Main (string[] args) { Application.Init(); MainWindow window = new MainWindow(); window.Show(); Gtk.Application.Invoke (some_method); Application.Run(); } public static void some_method (object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // This code is called from the Gtk+ main loop(which is run by calling Gtk.Application.Run (); Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep (5000); mywindow.Hide (); } Gtk.Application.Run does never return until Gtk.Application.Quit is called. It goes into an endless loop, the main loop. By using Application.Invoke, the main loop will call the specified method in one of its next iterations.
