[Tutor] Problem with threads

[David Cohen]

Hi,

Here is the code attached. It is a simple test program that open a gtk
window and connect to a server (might be an irc or telnet server).
When the button "Connect" is clicked, the thread (should) starts and
read what is coming from the server. But it never happens... just when
I click on the "Disconnect" button and the join() function is called.
Did you get any problem like that?

BR,

David
