use threads for the different gui mainloops.
Please enlighten me, what was the problem then
with multiple GUI
toolkits? IIRC it had to do with not being able to integrate multiple
applications together very well (at least as far as the user interface).
Its to do with the X event loop. Only one toolkit can receive the events
and the others just sit there. Some tollkits can be made to play nicly
(eg. GTK1.2 IIRC), but not all, and maybe not in a standard way.
