At least the case where two threads open two separate visuals and use
them independently.

It would also be nice if events could be gathered in one thread while
drawing was performed by another thread (e.g. a multithreaded game
engine).  Putting some locking in common/evqueue.inc would be the easy
part, but how much of a PITA would this be for the X targets ?

[Should be no problem for the fbdev target AFAICT].

Cheers,
