Randy,
what I only realised after reading your message for the second time is 
that it could
make a difference *which* thread runs the UI. On MacOSX it *must* be 
the main thread
that runs the UI. As far as I know this is true for all (non-X11) UI 
libraries
on the Mac, it has something to do with the way Mach threads are 
handled.
