As an aside, threads are one area where it seems ObjC has a huge advantage. I wish there was a way to just say something like "RunInBackground(procedure)" in FPC.
Once anonymous methods are implemented (I don't give an estimate here though) you should be able to do something like that.
Background threads not being able to touch the GUI, etc. makes it all but useless for many purposes.
That you can't access the GUI is not a problem of FPC, but a design decision of the LCL (or better: the VCL which it is based upon). If you'd write a GUI toolkit yourself you could write it in a way that allows access from multiple threads (if the underlying GUI system (WinAPI, X11, etc.) allows it of course)...
