[ruby-gnome2-devel-en] FileUtils, Threads, and Gtk

[Nikolai W. <no...@bi...>]

Hi!

The following code seems to lock up an never complete on 1.8.7:

require 'gtk2'

Gtk.init_add do
  Thread.start do
    FileUtils.cp 'a', 'b'
    Gtk.main_quit
  end
end

Gtk.main

For any file a.

Using code similar to that shown in

http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?tips_threadshttp://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?tips_threads

works, but is very slow.

Has anyone encountered similar problems?  Anyone have any experience
with threads and 1.9.1?
