Oh, right, I knew that.  I still have to figure out where to make the
change.

And while I'm at it, when you're trying to use X in a threaded envt,
you're really supposed to call XtToolkitThreadInitialize() at startup.
I presume that this should be conditionally compiled into gdk
somewhere.  Actually it may be safe to just always call it.  I think
it returns false if X isn't thread safe, but it shouldn't hurt
anything.

Thanks
