Description Andrew Cagney 2006-02-18 20:36:37 UTC

The current underlying timer_create mechanism is showing two problems:

- when the gui gets bogged down multiple timer events (and their threads) end up
running simultaneously (which just makes the problem worse)

- GCJ is struggling with these timers (a fix is comming but just avoiding them
would be nicer)

Can the relevant C code instead directly use gtk's timers?

Comment 1 Chris Moller 2006-05-12 18:56:16 UTC

Fixed on 2006-02-23 by replacing timer_*() fcns and associated signal handling
with g_timeout_add().
