You could process a few lines of your preview, go into the event
handler to check if there are any GTK events pending (eg. the cancel
button has been pressed!), process a few more lines, go into the event
handler, process a few more lines, go into the event handler, process
a few more lines, go into the event handler, process a few more lines,
go into the event handler, process a few more lines, go into the event
handler, process a few more lines, go into the event handler, process
a few more lines, go into the event handler, process a few more lines,
go into the event handler, process a few more lines, go into the event
handler, process a few more lines, go into the event handler, process
a few more lines, uhh... you get the idea.
