Hello,

the nsIAppStartup.run() starts the main gui (event-dispatching) thread. 

How to execute some code on the gui thread depends on your widget
system. E.g. in SWT you have Display.asyncExec(), in  Swing you have
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(), and so on.

Also, one common solution is to trigger some event, e.g. set a Timer 
and execute your code in the callback.

best regards,
Michal
