Definitly!
You can't call any other functions on the same visual while calling
ggiSetMode(). If you need to do something like this program does
you have to do the locking yourself, as we don't want to bloat
the general code for something most people don't require.
Actually LibGGI currently only guarantees inter-visual threadsafety,
meaning that you can have multiple threads opening and using one
visual each, but you can't have several threads using the same
visual (an exception is if you are drawing directly to a DirectBuffer,
then you can as many threads you like banging on it). LibGII is
intended to be fully threadsafe after giiMTInit() is called, but
it has not been well tested.
