Hi,

This is no longer a problem I managed to get this working by adding the following lines:

updater <- mkUpdater (cGetTime clock) (return () `stepper` quitOnDestory windowDestroy)

idleAdd (updater >> return True)

Excellent! I look forward to seeing a release of reactive-gtk some time, it'd be lovely to be able to program "proper" GUIs in a truely functional way.

Just don't hold your breath ;)

My project is more to develop an app, but I'm experimenting with using reactive and gtk together. Hopefully something like reactive-gtk could come out of it, but that isn't what I'm aiming for atm. If anything useful does turn up, I will package it though.

In particular, I'm not sure what the best way to represent GUIs in a reactive program is. Currently I'm just using an approach similar to the above, where any GTK event is 'wrapped' using makeEvent to create a reactive Event. I hope to get a better idea of what the best way is as I proceed and refactor as I go.
