I am by no means useful in a discussion about strategies in
multithreading. I rephrase my wish, and leave it here for the mission

GUI libraries wich make the application hang when a dialog is created
are a bad idea. We need to have a way, even in hugs, to control the
events that are to be sent to the underlying parent window when a dialog
is created.
