Comment 167 for bug 226470

Erik/David, related to your comments regarding the problem, see my comments on Bug #467744 # 6.

Regarding David's claims that the GDK access is single threaded (I want the function names that insure this.) I have been reading C since 1974, I have actually met both Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at various points. You can claim crap but this is a "trust but verify world". One of the shortcomings IMO for the mozilla perspective is that the do *NOT* have a perspective for bringing one "up-to-speed".

Getting back to Erik's points, there is a question of whether or not asynchronous processes (threads) get to address the display manager (GDK). Given his many valid points about when and how the display manager may be addressed, is the issue of how one is managing that. (Note I do not see messages between the Firefox developers and the GDK/GTK developers) revealing that they might understand the capabilities and limits of their software systems. (Which when you are attempting to operate on a deleted window -- clearly show you do not understand.)
