Without your full code, it's hard for me to say, but I'd guess where and how you call gtk_main() is an issue here.
The full relevant code is
include GtkEngine.e -- some code here global constant Win = create(GtkWindow) -- some code here constant splash = create(GtkWindow) -- some code here show_all(splash) -- This is supposed to show -before- the data is loaded. getUSDAdata() hide(splash) -- some code here show_all(Win) main() -- But this is where both splash and Win show, if I comment out hide.
Yep, after you call show_all(splash) (and before you call getUSDAdata() or hide(splash) ) you need to call the EuGTK version of this:
while (gtk_events_pending()) { gtk_main_iteration(); }
The GTK code in http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=show&file=faq20.005.htp should show you exactly what you need to do.
