As far as I can see gtkD no longer supports openGL so I was thinking it might be possible to run a gtkD GUI on the main thread and openGL/Derelict on another. The Gl thread is derived; extends Thread. With threads having separate memory is this assumption correct?

If it is, I would like to use message passing via Tid(s) to allow the gui to tell the gl thread what to draw and where. I can pass the main threads Tid to gl upon construction, but I don't particularly want to set up a while loop on the main thread looking to receive the Tid sent back from the owned gl thread. But I need the gl Tid to send data through to the gl thread. Is there a another way to access the gl thread's Tid from within the main thread?
