[Gtk-sharp-list] Window refresh problem

[Freon]

That's what he's doing. But even with ThreadNotify, the GTk components
are only refreshed when a window grabs the focus (or a mouse is moved
over).
A window running in the background couldn't be updated for instance.
I have the same problem and wonder how I could fix that as well.

(may be a double post ;))
