patch to add G_IO_HUP event watch on stdin (660 bytes, patch)
2003-04-13 04:42 UTC, gus3 		none Details | Review

Description gus3 2003-04-13 04:41:53 UTC 
Using the example from the on-line documentation:

(
echo "10" ; sleep 1
echo "20" ; sleep 1
echo "50" ; sleep 1
echo "75" ; sleep 1
echo "100" ; sleep 1
) |
gdialog --title "GAUGE" --gauge "This is a gauge widget" 10 10 0

When the subshell exits, gdialog does not close. This contradicts
gdialog(1), and doesn't make much sense anyway.

I have a patch to fix this, at least with piped input as above. I am unable
to find a fix yet for direct shell-based (keyboard) input.

I am no longer interested in maintaining gdialog - I've written a new
version called zenity which i hope will replace it. it'll have a
compatibility wrapper script, so your commandlines won't be broken.
You should check it out.
