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.

CHECKLIST FOR ADDING A NEW FILE TO EMACS -*- outline -*-

** Make sure the author(s) have a copyright assignment/disclaimer.

** Make sure the file matches the standard Emacs template (header
format, copyright and license notice, etc).

** Make sure the filename does not cause the DOS port any problems (8+3).
Run the `doschk' program like this:

    find /path/to/emacs -print | doschk

and examine the output for DOS-related problems.  The sections of
output under the headings "The following files are not valid DOS file
names:" and "The following resolve to the same DOS file names:" should
not include any files that end up in the release tarball.

** Make the ChangeLog entry in the name of the author(s), not your own name.

** If appropriate, add an entry to lisp/Makefile.in ELCFILES.

** If appropriate, check that the file compiles OK and that Emacs
builds fine with it.  Address any compilation warnings.

** If a major contribution, consider adding an entry to the
Acknowledgments in doc/emacs/emacs.texi and ack.texi.

** If appropriate, add a short NEWS entry.

** If appropriate, update make-dist (not needed with "standard" file
names, eg *.el).
