[DRE-maint] Bug#582043: Ruby/GTK+ program spins around when other Ruby threads are executing

[Antonio Terceiro]

tags 582043 + wontfix
thanks

Hi,

I've just tested this and I can confirm that it happens on Ruby 1.8.
However, it does NOT happen on Ruby 1.9. Ruby 1.9 has native threads,
while 1.8 uses green threads, what makes me assume that this is a
problem related to the Ruby 1.8 green threads. Since Ruby 1.8 is not
changing anymore, I am marking this bug as wontfix.

If you want to have proper threading with GTK Ruby programs, you should
be using Ruby 1.9.  This will be the default Ruby on Debian really soon.
