Is this true? If yes, I'll give you an elaboration on how threads are supposed to work in Gtk+ (I think I finally understood this!) and what I've changed in 0.11.0.
i'm among (probably many) developers who interested to hear it. i believe that gtk2hs uses thread where it was initialized as main (this thread should be bound so it's either main thread or one created with runInBoundThread/forkOS) and the everything should either run in this thread directly, or in signal hadlers (that are executed in this thread) or via postGUISync/postGUIAsync. moreover postGUISync can't be used inside main GUI thread due to locking as you may remember, once i proposed to add wrapper that is equal to id in main GUI thread but equal to postGUISync in other threads. or even better, wrap all gtk2hs operations in this wrapper -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
