+Summary: SWF Timer should not work when started from another thread
+
+This is kind of a minor issue, but I'll log it anyway:  On MS.NET, when you
+try to start a System.Windows.Forms.Timer from a thread other than the
+main, nothing happens.  The Tick event does not occur.  However, Mono's
+SWF.Timer implementation does work from another thread.  For consistency's
+sake it probably should not.
+
+Here is a simple test app for your convenience:
+
+
+using System;
+using System.Threading;
+using System.Windows.Forms;
+
+public class T : Form 
+{
+	System.Windows.Forms.Timer myTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
+	
+	public static int Main (string[] args) 
+	{
+		Application.Run(new T());
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+	public T () 
+	{
+		Label l = new Label ( );
+		l.Text = "click me";
+		l.Click += Clicky;
+		l.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
+		Controls.Add ( l );
+
+		myTimer.Interval = 500;		
+		myTimer.Tick += TickHandler;
+	}
+
+	void Clicky ( object o, EventArgs e)
+	{
+		Thread thread = new Thread ( new ThreadStart ( StartThread ) );
+		thread.Start();
+	}
+
+	void StartThread ()
+	{
+		Thread.Sleep ( 1000 );
+		myTimer.Start ();
+	}
+
+	void TickHandler ( object o, EventArgs e )
+	{
+		Console.WriteLine ( "Should not occur" );
+	}
+}
