[ROOT] Receiving Signals from other applications

Hi,

I am writing a compiled program using ROOT.
I have the following problem:

I need to be able to receive a standard signal
such as "SIGUSR" as defined in signal.h, from
another application and respond to it.

Now, the function that handles the signal in the
ROOT program needs to be a static class member
(as far as I can tell that's the only way it works
using signal.h).

I have made the function a static member of my
program's main frame (TGMainFrame class).

However, I can not call any of the other member 
functions (which I need to be able to do) because, 
well..., the static member function doesn't have 
access to those.

My questions are:

1) Did you guys build in a nicer way to handle
   messages from other applications? 

2) If not, is there a way to get access to the
   mainframe object from a static member function
   the mainframe class?


Thanks,

Michael
