[pygtk] gobject timeout when callback is complete

[Samuel Cormier-Iijima]

I think a better way would be to add an idle callback *inside* the
callback function, so something like

def run_after():
    print 'after'

def run_now():
    print 'now'
    gobject.idle_add(run_after)

gobject.timeout_add(interval, run_now)

... unless I'm mistaking what you want exactly.
