+<sect1>Why doesn't my progressbar update?
+<p>
+
+You are probably doing all the progressbar changes within a function 
+without returning control to gtk_main. Most drawing updates are only 
+placed on a queue, which is processed within gtk_main. You can
+force the drawing queue to be processed using something like:
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+while (gtk_events_pending())
+        gtk_main_iteration();
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+inside you're function that changes the progress bar.
+
+What the above snippet does is run all pending events and high priority 
+idle functions, then return immediately (the drawing is done in a 
+high priority idle function).
