[IPython-user] gtk.main_iteration() blocks ipython

[Pieter Cristiaan de Groot]

using gtk.main_iteration(block=False) has a different behaviour the 
second time you use it ( so after the time-out warning and switching to 
non-threaded mode). Ipython is now completely usable, but the gui not 
anymore. It is also not predictable. Sometimes when clicking the buttons 
(without any visual feedback by the way) will give you the specified 
action after you run 'gtk.main_iteration(block=False), but sometimes it 
does not.

does this give a clue?

Is this a bug that I need to report somewhere?
