[Java-gnome-developer] Worker threads

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

Someone popped into #java-gnome the other day trying to figure out how
to use CustomEvents to cause GUI actions to be taken from other threads.

A long time ago I was working on something that needed a worker thread
to do do the task at hand while updating a GUI window to show progress.
Since that's when *I* learned how to use java-gnome's CustomEvents
mechanism and since the question seems to come up a lot, I simmered that
bit down into a simple example.
