If you don't fancy the "awake" mechanism (as described by Matthias in
another reply) then it is possible to have your fltk thread use
add_timeout(...) to simply poll for a flag from your other thread.
When the timeout sees the flag set, it can trigger whatever actions are
necessary, from within the fltk thread.

Depending on how fast you need to refresh your display, this can work
pretty well with surprisingly moderate polling rates, say every 100ms or
so, perhaps even slower!

However, I generally go for the awake() approach myself.
