This may be "normal," but it is *UGLY*.  :^(

Please tell me this is simply due to the early state of Evolution, and
not an inherent property of Bonobo objects.  Otherwise, it sounds as
if practical Bonobo objects will almost always need to be multi-threaded;
one to do the real work and one to take care of X redraws in response
to window manager events.

Or am I missing something fundamentally obvious here?
