[Lazarus] Library, Threads and Gui

[SteveG]

Thanks guys - I have been using this approach in my Linux libs for 
awhile now, and appears to work ok.

Just having intermittant gtk errors within my library and trying to 
determine if the Lib -> Gui area may be my problem (no extra threads in 
use)

So probably need to look elsewhere at what I'm doing wrong
