Chris,

I don't think that having one thread (the main thread) dispatch all actions in an application is a very good design, especially given that all UI things happen in this thread, and it's not always available. Surely, there has to be a better design than this.

Apple needs to fix Cocoa and make it more thread-safe, describing expected behaviors.

That's my opinion, anyway. Sending NSEvents from background threads to the main thread when the main thread cannot be guaranteed to respond to them in any known period of time (and I'm not even asking for "real time") is not acceptable.

Thanks,
Steve
