Are we saying then, that you do ...
while(Gtk::Main::instance()->events_pending())
Gtk::Main::instance()->iteration(); // if you want to
allow user interaction and redraw
gdk_window()->process_updates(false); // if you want to
allow redraw
If that is the case, a small update to the example I made could be used to
illustrate the point.
