I stumbled over this:

So Xlib is thread aware and they seem to suggest that it dopes make
sense to create multiple X sessions (i.e. one per thread) in a single
program.
At that point why not bite the bullet and exploit GPU parallelism?
(And I learned that in fact XInitThreads() can be called in Lazarus
projects. ->

So in fact X does support multiple "!GUIs" (e.g. one per thread) in a
multithreadded project.
Of course it might be that QT (or KDE) impose additional restrictions
(though I still suppose that this can be handles somehow).
KDE and Qt are minor issues, far more significant is arbitrary
restrictions that GTK imposes because they envisage some usage case that
will break Gnome.
