Once again, this is not about serializing "requests" but about allowing 
as much code as possible to be distributed on multiple CPUs as possible.

The "Widget Provider" (including X or whatever) does a fine job 
serializing the requests to the graphics driver, as you can see when 
doing the same stuff in multiple applications instead of multiple threads.

( On top of that you are right that serializing the GUI inputs (i.e. the 
event queue handling) could benefit from multiple threads as well, as 
with that e.g. events from a certain Windows could be handled in a 
higher priority queue than others, but this is a different issue ).
