[Texmacs-dev] Re: Qt-TeXmacs: Pile of patches

[Gubinelli Massimiliano]

Hi Norbert,
 I've applied manually your patch for the event-loop. One problem  
that I have with it is that in absence of explicit input from the user  
the timer does not fire and interpose_handler is not called. This is  
not the right behavior since TeXmacs manages some internal timers and  
sockets which need to be polled at least at regular intervals.
You have already a problem since the initial messages in the footer  
(which are handled via TeXmacs internal timers) are frozen in your  
patched version (the footer always show "Booting").

It is not clear to me how to handle this properly.


Best,

Massimiliano
