Hi,

first let me thank you!

If you don't have problems with nested calls of gdk_threads_enter()
either (like me on win32) then there must be some more magic behind the
gdk_threads_enter thing than just a global semaphore... How can it
determine if a call is a nested call from the same thread which is
allowed -- and a call from a foreign thread which is not allowed?
