Hello!

> Currently we need:

In this particular chapter, I think a few things can be said which are
outside the scope of the regular .NET threading:

	* Gtk-issues with threads (we can copy paste some of this from
	  a google search on this, there are a couple of posts from
	  Owen on this subject).

	* How to make all your GUI code run in one thread, and how to
	  wake-up/notify the main thread from a separate thread.  There
	  are two ways:

		* ThreadNotify, which calls a delegate on the main
		  thread.

		* The Idle add trick (this used to be broken, but seems
	  	  fixed now).

My only comment here is that we can start by "describing" the inner
working of the samples provided by Lluis on the mailing list as a
crash-course, and then digging deeper into it.

We still do not have a lot of WebServices support, so I think we can put
this section on hold until we get things moving.

Do we have a nice table of contents here?  Maybe we should produce one
outline first.
