Yup. But there's a reason .. i want to find out how to use
GTK cross thread. To associate Felix fibres with Gtk widgets
instead of callbacks may need a Gtk server thread communicating
with the fibres in another pthread using pchannels.
It's not clear to me if GTK handles multiple events or if it
is serial -- it does have the same stupid novice design bug
as SDL however: it isn't re-entrant. Some of the underlying
libraries like Glib seem to be though.
Note Glib has a thread pool .. I'm fairly sure it is designed
to support threading.
