Unfortunately there's not much of an alternative in an application which uses pluggable interfaces. The GTK timeout and watch handling stuff is neat, but there's no point bringing a dependency on GTK if a person decides to run, say, a curses interface instead. Another alternative would be to run the gtk mainloop in another thread. But threading isn't fun - especially in python. For the record, the slowdown isn't terribly noticable :-) -- Damien Elmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
