Hi, Just be careful with threads, because they're evil (TM) ! ;) They are hard to debug, annoy users when deadlocking, and when done wrongly, can have impact on performance.
My policy is to only use threads when absolutely necessary. In most cases, nonblocking IO and timeout callbacks are fully sufficient, and give more predictable and debuggable behavior. X and most UI-toolkits aren't thread-safe anyway, so threading should never be used in GUI parts. Somebody (Richard Stallmann, IIRC) said, "threads are for people who did not understand state-machines". He could be right on this part. Just my 2 ยข...
