Hi all,
I added a "Firefox throbber" to my application as described in the FAQ (e.g.
http://eccentric.cx/misc/pygtk/pygtkfaq.html#23.37 as www.pygtk.org seems to be
down right now)
It didn't work for me, and I discovered that this was because of idle handlers,
which cause gtk.events_pending() to always return True and hence the loop
suggested there
to loop forever. The loop looks like this:
while gtk.events_pending():
gtk.main_iteration()
So I can fix this by removing all the idle handlers individually with
gobject.source_remove, running this loop and then putting them back again
afterwards with gobject.idle_add.
It then works, but it feels like a hack, and is problematic because I've now
got a situation where there exists an idle handler in a separate library that
doesn't know about my throbber.
Is there some better way to do this? It would be great if there was a way to
temporarily disable all idle handlers without having to know exactly which ones
they are and
how to put them back afterwards.
Regards,
Geoff
