Some python programs don't call gtk.events_pending() often enough, or at all, to redraw their display while processing. Anything with a (working) progress bar would be calling events_pending() fairly often, though. You'll see the "blank window" problems on programs that provide no, or very little, visual feedback for operation's that take a long time. It is generally a trivial problem to fix, though. > What's going on? Am I just cursed, or is this something that's lingered > unfixed for years? Squeaky wheel... File a bug report on the program and explain what it is doing and precisely when. (i.e. rhn-applet-gui doesn't redraw window contents while a "check for updates" is in progress.) -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
