gtk interface responsiveness

[Johnson Jones via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I have an icon that I toggle which clicked. It seems that I can't 
toggle it any faster than about a second.

The handler is being called each click but it seems the gui is 
not updated more than about 1fps in that case? Although, I'm sure 
it update faster than 1fps, just seems the icon/image isn't.

The code I use to set the image is:

Image.setFromStock("gtk-go-up", GtkIconSize.SMALL_TOOLBAR);

or

Image.setFromStock("gtk-go-down", GtkIconSize.SMALL_TOOLBAR);

I also have been experiencing significant slow downs when the gui 
load for the first time. Doesn't always seem to happen but 
basically keyboard output across the os is unresponsive then 
everything occurs at once(when whatever catches up for quits 
interfering with the keyboard). It takes about 20 seconds for 
that to occur then everything works fine afterwards best I can 
tell.


(BTW, thanks mike for all the help ;))
