[Gtk-sharp-list] [Fwd: Re: Inexplicable segfaults]

[Walter Leibbrandt]

Hi,

Eric is 100% correct: it is a related problem and the 
Gdk.Threads.Enter()/Leave() methods around all Gtk-related method calls 
did the trick.

I would just like to know what the (expected) performance implication 
would be in using this.

Thanks,

Walter

This sounds very much like the problem we had encountered (we were also 
dynamically creating/destroying widgets). I mentioned our solution 
already on the list 
http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/gtk-sharp-list/2006-September/007388.html. 
I wonder if that would solve your problem as well.
