Hello Klaus

I'm not sure if anything has happened in the meantime but I'll take this
opportunity to let you and the rest of the list subscribers know that I
wrote a cross thread signaling library a few months ago that is similar
in concept to sigcx. I called it glibmmx because it depends on glibmm
2.4(for the thread stuff) and not just sigc++2.0. It has a number of
dispatchers like sigcx, including one that works with glibmm/gtkmm. It
builds the templates using m4 during the build so it won't look complete
if you just browse cvs.

Although it *should* work, I haven't done enough testing or written
enough examples and documentation for me to feel it is ready for a
release(busy with other projects at the moment). If someone wants to
port sigcx to sigc++2.0 you may want to at least have a look at my
library as I think the API is better that sigcx in some ways.

If anyone is interested or needs help building/using it please let me
know. There is also a class for performing lock free programming using
Read Copy Update(RCU), please ignore that as it is proof of concept
only.

You can find the library here http://sourceforge.net/projects/glibmmx
