/*
 * original Glib::Dispatcher example -- cross thread signalling
 * by Daniel Elstner  <daniel.elstner@gmx.net>
 * 
 * Modified by Stephan Puchegger <stephan.puchegger@ap.univie.ac.at>
 * to contain 2 mainloops in 2 different threads, that communicate 
 * via cross thread signalling in both directions. The timer thread
 * sends the UI thread a cross thread signal every second, which in turn
 * updates the label stating how many seconds have passed since the start
 * of the program.
 *
 * Modified by J. Abelardo Gutierrez <jabelardo@cantv.net>
 * to cast all gtkmm out and make it glimm only
 *
 * Note:  This example is special stuff that's seldomly needed by the
 * vast majority of applications.  Don't bother working out what this
 * code does unless you know for sure you need 2 main loops running in
 * 2 distinct main contexts.
