i personally suspect that the person who wrote that message is *not*
always using gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave() around
any use of gtk/gdk functions. 

the scheduling of threads in any microsoft OS is totally different
than it would be under linux, and any race conditions or deadlocks
that might exist could easily show up only under one of the operating
systems.
