Maybe someone could fill me in here.

Is it possible (from a theoretical standpoint) for the gtk to automatically
call gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave()?  I just never understood
why the programmer had to make these calls...


I believe it is possible, but there are some tradeoffs in performance
and implementation complexity.
