Well, they do "work" (in the sense that they lock and unlock the
gdk_threads_mutex), but that is not the problem. You should realize
that Win32 GDI is not a pure network protocol like X11 is, with no
thread-related (or process-related, even) information in the
protocol. The Windows graphics subsystem knows which thread created a
window, message ("event") queues are per-thread, etc.
