Shutting the lyntin down is a bit messy and has some 
races, so I consider clarifying threading issues a bit. 
The code in question is unnecessarily hairy by now.

I guess, if any UI module can tell it wants the main 
thread, and the engine has no problems with it, then we 
could just as well run any UI in the main thread. I hardly 
can imagine a toolkit that objects against running in the 
main thread.
