Steve,
I have ran into this problem before. In unicon's GUI "display" method
should do a redraw
statusField.set_label("Restarting ICE...")
self.display() # self is the whole dialog object
Ii've just tested it under Windows and it worked. but I remember having
problems under linux. Sometimes I end up doing this
self.init()
self.resize()
self.display()
Maybe there are cleaner ways to do it that I'm not aware of. Let me know if
you find any.
Thanks,
Jafar
