I tried it using Messages rather than a separate thread, and it seems to work. Essentially the same code, only the "run" routine in the Runnable becomes a handleMessage routine in a subclass of Handler, and you substitute the "send" methods in place of the "post" ones. Seems wiser to me, since it keeps all the GUI actions in the main thread.
