You can use Gtk.Application.Invoke (some_method) and then call
Aplication.Run:
public static void Main (string[] args)
{
Application.Init();
MainWindow window = new MainWindow();
window.Show();
Gtk.Application.Invoke (some_method);
Application.Run();
}
public static void some_method (object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
// This code is called from the Gtk+ main loop(which is run
by calling Gtk.Application.Run ();
Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep (5000);
mywindow.Hide ();
}
Gtk.Application.Run does never return until Gtk.Application.Quit is
called. It goes into an endless loop, the main loop. By using
Application.Invoke, the main loop will call the specified method in one
of its next iterations.
