Scott, it's not that any one thing is hard to get correct. Arrogantly calling someone stupid, as you've done here, doesn't help. It's the subtlety of getting *everything* correct. A GUI system, and the programs that are layered on top of it, embody a great deal of complexity. Allowing multiple threads to operate on the GUI causes this complexity to permute.
