Detailed Description

A C++ wrapper for the GDK Mutex object.

Mutex wraps the GDK mutex object that C programs lock and unlock with calls to gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave() respectively. In XFC you don't use these fucntions. Instead you wrap critical sections of code in calls to Gdk::Mutex::lock() and Gdk::Mutex::unlock();
