Subject: Re: Fox threading issues

The program shows the Linux like behaviour on Windows for me (locking up). I
use ruby 1.6.7 (2002-09-12) [i586-mswin32], obtained from 
http://www.ruby-lang.org/~usa/mswin32/ruby-1.6.7-20020912-1586-mswin32.zip
and copied over the ruby directory installed by the Prag Prog windows
installer.

The lockups are caused by repeating the addTimeOuts. FXApp#addTimeOut is a
buggy method under FXRuby at present. Use ruby threads for repititious
control, avoid Fox timeouts like the plague. 

Of course, I hope that Lyle can contradict me.
