You don't necessarily have to call fltk's run loop at all - fltk will work pretty well, as long as you can arrange to pump it by calling Fl::check() on a fairly frequent basis from your existing run loop. But calling Fl::run() form the child thread... Nope, that will not work (locking issues etc...) So, if you can modify the run loop in your main thread to call Fl::check() there's a good chance things will "Just Work".
