True - but note that this is (more or less) by design, it is not a mistake
or oversight as such.

Note that the fltk docs explicitly advise against accessing the (Xlib, in
this case) layer from multiple threads - all the GUI access should be in
the main() thread, with only access via fltk's own methods (and using
fltk's own locks) from any subsidiary threads.

I recognise that this may not sit well with everybody's use-case, but in
our experience this has proven to be more robust and portable (and faster)
than depending on the (various, different) way Xlib (and other GUI systems)
implement this functionality.
