The whole notion of mutiple threads explicitly or implicitly interafaceing with the gui seems rather dangerous to me, but I guess that shouldn't concern -gui.
I agree, I'm not certain that we should provide any thread-safety in -gui at all. Eventually, it'll all have to be drawn in one thread anyway. What did OPENSTEP do?
I'm fairly sure it said you must only access the appkit stuff from a single thread.
I have found that there is NSApplication + (void)detachDrawingThread:(SEL)selector toTarget:(id)target withObject:(id)argument.
What is its purpose? Should not it be, that this method will create another thread, and appkit will be aware of that tread so it can perform drawing operations?
