I was just struggling with this myself, so I happen to have example code for a progressbar. In my case the subprocess is run as a thread within the same program, which makes knowing the relative progress of the work easier.
[CODE=python]
import gobject
import gtk

import time

As I see it, the Queue would not provide any help here, as it is intended for exchanging data between threads.

It's the Widget.show_all () call that jams the system if it is not called in the GTK main loop.
However, now I found a solution to the...Leave a comment:

Thanks for the hints.I was expecting something like this, and it seems somewhat reasonable that the toolkit allows certain operatinons only from the main thread. I tested the callback approach, but i couldn't get it to work either. Here is some sample code for activating callbacks:

There are two buttons: a "Show dialog" button which immediately displays a dialog, and a "Do work" button which launches a worker thread. The worker thread simulates some work by sleeping a moment, and then attempts to display a dialog.
The problem is that when the worker thread attempts... -

I am trying to find a tutorial that explains how to use and modify the gtk.Style objects. There is also a class gtk.RcStyle, and I'm trying to find out how it relates to gtk.Style.
The related problem is as follows:
