Hi,

This is good news, what is your activity going to do ?

Yes, there are plenty of examples in the code. If you are working in C,
look at the file erase.c for the function call:
  timer_id = gtk_timeout_add (2000, (GtkFunction) finished, NULL);

Take care to properly delete the timer when the activity is closed with:
    gtk_timeout_remove (timer_id);

May I suggest you to work on the development branch instead. I won't add
any new activity done on the 8.4 branch branch. 

The 8.5 branch gcomprixogoo is based on the goocanvas and it is where
our future is.
