[gtkada] How to use Timer function in GtkAda

[Bade, Frank]

Hi !

I want to update a window periodically. I read in the C-headers, that GDK is equipped with a timer, that calls user functions on request periodically. 
How to realize this functionallity in Ada ?

Thanks in advance
	Frank

PS.: I do not want to use an extra task for that ( thanks to Jeff for his explanations )
