DBus - problem with dispatch

[Krzysztof]

Exactly. Some times ago, 500ms timer was enough to catch all pidgin signals.
Now with 500ms my timer can't see even one signal. I change interval to 50ms
and it catch ~70%. With 5ms it catch ~95% . Finally I change timer to thread
which call read_write in loop (with 1 second timeout) and it seems that it
can catch all. Maybe I leave it that. Sorry for my english
