[Gtk-sharp-list] GLib.Idle CPU problem

[Iliya Iliev]

Hi,

I'm returning true because I misunderstand that if I want my event 
handler to to be executed every time when application goes in Idle state 
I should return true.

So is this true that if even I return false from my event handler this 
handler will be executed every time when application goes to Idle state?
