[Gtk-sharp-list] A better interface for invoking on the UI thread.

[Daniel Hughes]

Yes the first call to Invoke will call Application.Invoke regardless.

However incurring a single extra invoke in the lifetime of your app is not
much of a problem.

I do like your idea of having a initialize invoke method but you will have
to remember to call it when you start your app.

Cheers,
Daniel Hughes
