Hello, I can’t get mounts working with gio. I guess the problem is that I don’t have the main loop and ruby-gio2 implements only asynchronous mount. I don’t have and don’t want gtk but there’s not GLib.main. Also I really want only mounting the share and then continue running in Ruby, not in GLib loop. Any ideas how this can be done? I guess running GTK without any windows is also an option if there is no main loop in ruby-glib2. Thanks Michal ---

OK, so I got the gio mounts working thanks to Nikolai’s patch. I still need Gtk to mount, though. Thanks Michal ---

How do I tell that class even exists? Can’t find anything like that in the docs. Thanks Michal ---

The problem is that the docs at [http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Ruby%2FGLib](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Ruby%2FGLib) don’t say anything about it anywhere I could find so how do I find out about it? Are there some other docs I am missing? Thanks Michal
