The LCL is not reentrant.
Most LCL code is reentrant.
Only within the context of an single thread.
This was acceptable on traditional single-CPU/core machines, but
nowadays non-visual components, and also parts of a GUI, should be
manageable in different (dedicated) threads.
It's not so on Unix. X-Windows is definitely not thread-safe.
I also have not seen any claims from Microsoft that the GDI controls are
thread-safe,
True, widgetsets typically are not threadsafe, that's not the problem.
Remember an recent thread, where e.g. a progress bar could be attached
to and served by an thread, independently from the main application GUI.
The same for data modules...
