Maybe, but it's probably wise to split things on a thread safe/unsafe line.

Great! You know, making things thread-safe is really not that difficult;
what's important is to keep it in mind from the beginning, and avoid things
like global vars/dependencies, which is a big no-no for threadability.
I tried the GTK and it looks thread-safe. The same goes for ms.
The problem is with the fpc-wrappers; afaict, none of them are thread-safe.
Once I become a pro like you people, I'll probably start to use svn, until
then can you provide me with a fpGUI tarball?
Thanks!
