     Yes Olaf - that's exactly right. If the second thread makes it's own
connection to the X server then it will have it's own event queue - in fact
pretty much everything will be seperate with the possible exception of
error-handlers; this could easily be overridden as I think if GDK gets an
error it just says so and bombs out.

Cheers for now,
