Its like a Unix filesystem. There are users (threads) which belong to a group 
(process). For a particular file (the questonable SDL_app window) the owner 
may to everything, members of the group are usually not allowed to delete it. 
If you lock that file (threading stoppers) only one, owner or group member, 
can access it at a time. But access happens in the context of file 
permissions.
