Using messages works on windows, but GTK is the most thread unsafe of
all widgetsets, when i tried to port an app that worked fine on
windows to GTK1/2 it was quite unstable, even now with a StringList
based messages queue there are times when the app simply crashes with
strange gtk resize warning but this is probably a GTK stability issue.
Being able to do GUI calls in secondary threads is nice to have.
