[Gtk] SharedTimerGtk should use G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE for g_idle_add

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Jan Alonzo]

In setSharedTimerFireTime:

     if (intervalInMS == 0)
-        sharedTimer = g_idle_add_full(G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, timeout_cb, NULL, NULL);
+        sharedTimer = g_idle_add_full(G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE, timeout_cb, NULL, NULL);

I'm attaching a patch for this.

Did this cause incorrect behaviour or is this patch just a cleanup? How about just using g_idle_add() (docs suggest it does the same thing)?

updated to use g_idle_add rather than the _full variant

Hi Alp

This is just a cleanup. I've updated the patch to use g_idle_add rather than g_idle_add_full.

Please adjust the changelog when landing. According to the glib documentation g_idle_add is there from the beginning so we can safely use that.
