Really? I have yet to see a situation where multithreading is truly
necessary in a GUI application. It is easy to assume one needs threads when
safer alternatives would suffice. What specific uses do you envision for a
threaded GUI framework?

I'm planning to put together a short paper on this topic in the near future;
I'll let you know when it's ready...
