[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(emptyThreadMethod:) toTarget:[DeadThread class] withObject: nil]; // force Cocoa to enter multithreading mode.

In detachNewThreadSelector, toTarget: expects id argument, not class structure.

hi there,
i'm having a bit of trouble with the following test code i wrote (debugger exits at the runModal: method of NSAlert even though it's called in the main thread):
(i'm afraid it's missing all the includes/imports).
my project required a 'main' so i call the NSApplicationMain from that - i'm hoping that's not what's causing the problem, since the test confirms that the NSAlert is in the main thread.
any help would be much appreciated,
thanks,
tom
