Hi !
I'm new in this list and I discovered GTK+ for some weeks.
I'm a Ph. D student and I'm working on a quite big software, designed to
be used in medical high dependency areas (Intensive Care Unit). This
project is compound of several modules (process). Some of these processes
needs a user interface. We used Motif to do this work ...
But Motif is definitively too Big and too slow, so we (I ?) decided to
switch to GTK+.
The result is MUCH faster (10 to 20 factor at launch) and smaller (50% to
70% RAM saved)
I think I've found a little bug in gdk_exit() and the same :-) in gtk_exit().
In fact, the bug seems to be that a atexit() function (ie a fonction
found in a atexit() call) call the exit() function ! (indirectly)
So, user atexit functions are called several times, witch is very bad in
my case !!!
the following patch seems to correct the problem :
