Getting wxHaskell to handle UI updates from non-UI threads was a
frustrating experience; it's embarassing how long it took me to
realise that the solution presented in this StackOverflow answer:
http://stackoverflow.com/a/3182588/424978 is probably the only viable
one. I've packaged it into a tiny module that provides Gtk2hs-style
`postGUIAsync` function:
https://github.com/mmakowski/habaz/blob/master/src/Graphics/UI/WX/Async.hs.
Is there any interest in incorporating this into wxHaskell proper? It
might save other users some head scratching.

Regards,
Maciek
