Hi,
I'm interested in different GUI toolkits, and just started looking
at Prima.

My one question is this:  Is Prima threadsafe? Or are there methods to use 
so that a programmer can access a Prima widget from a thread?

Tk is known to be NOT threadsafe, with a bunch of well known hacks
for dealing with the problem.

Gtk2 has improved thread safety, and you can safely access a Gtk2 widget
from a thread with an Glib::Idle->add().

How does Prima fit into this, because it would seem that using it with PDL
would often need the PDL routines running in a thread, so as not to interfere
with the GUI event-loop.

Thanks for reading this.

0m,
zentara
