[gtkada] Problem with drawing

[Michael Gonzalez]

Hi,

I have a drawing window for which I wrote a handler for the expose event
that copies a pixmap into the window. From my main program I can make
changes to the drawing, then re-draw the window using a Queue_Draw
operation, and then let GtkAda process the events with the  following
loop (suggested in the reference manual):

    while Gtk.Main.Events_Pending loop 
         Dead := Gtk.Main.Main_Iteration; 
    end loop; 

In Linux this works fine. But when I run the same program under Windows
the loop never ends. There seem to be infinite events queuing.

This only happens after invoking Queue_Draw for the drawing window. I
have used the same loop with other objects with no problem.

Any idea of why the Linux and Windows implementations are behaving
different?

Best wishes,

Michael Gonzalez.
