Thanks Thiago. That was it, i had to dispatch_read_write in a while loop checking for DATA_REMAINS. Now i get all messages sent. Thanks for your help again. -K <div>On 1/27/07, Thiago Macieira <<a href="mailto:thiago@kde.org">thiago@kde.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Krishna R wrote: >Hmm looks like this may not be it. It works great except that the filter >func is never called to rcv the *first* message sent. Correct. You need to verify if the dispatch status is DATA_REMAINS every time you do a read/write action (like dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block). This means you need to wake up your "mainloop" implementation just as if there had been activity on the socket. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) <a href="http://macieira.info">macieira.info</a> - thiago (AT) <a href="http://kde.org">kde.org</a>   PGP/GPG: 0x6EF45358; fingerprint:   E067 918B B660 DBD1 105C 966C 33F5 F005 6EF4 5358 </blockquote></div>
