[pygtk] Problem with "user response" in pyGTK with more than one thread

[Alexandre Vázquez]

Hi list!
First of all I want to introduce myself. I'm Alexandre and I'm starting to
work with PyGTK and I have a problem right now. I want to explain that
problem.

I'm developing a application with a tray icon that he updates automatic
every "X" seconds inside a eternal loop. Because of that I need to replace
my gtk.Main() call with the following sentence:

thread.start_new_thread(gtk.main, ())

and use for every gtk call the following sentence:

gobject.idle_add(*one_gtk_call*)

By this way, the gtk events will executed inside another thread and my
computation can be done in the main loop. Ok, all right. But now I need to
have a input dialog to the user fill his password and I need all the compute
stop until the user fill the input, but I can't do that because all the
graphics calls are running in a another thread.

Are you can help me to solve that problem? I'd tried anything I could, and
read all documentation I have.

Thanks to all very much!

P.D. If you have more doubts with the problem or you can understand well,
tell me, I can tell you more details.
