Use a select wrapper around the GLib event loop, thus taking into account GLib timeouts and event sources. This simplifies Gtk+-code a lot, and is needed for handling GConf death/restart. * xterm.c: #include xgselect.h. (x_initialize): Call xgselect_initialize. * xsettings.c (something_changedCB): C++ comments => C comments. (init_gconf): Do not deal with any GLib file descriptors, xg_select does that now. * gtkutil.c (xg_timer, xg_process_timeouts, xg_start_timer) (xg_stop_timer, menu_grab_callback_cnt, menu_grab_callback) (scroll_bar_button_cb): Remove. (create_menus): C++ comments => C comments. Don't bind grab-notify event. (xg_create_scroll_bar): Don't bind button-press-event and button-release-event. * process.c: Include xgselect.h if defined (USE_GTK) || defined (HAVE_GCONF). (wait_reading_process_output): Call xg_select for the same condition. * xgselect.c (xg_select): New function to better integrate with GLib/Gtk event handling. Needed if GConf daemon dies/restarts. * xgselect.h: New file, declare xg_select, xgselect_initialize. * Makefile.in (XOBJ): Add xgselect.o.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
