venkman definitely doesn't use threads (in fact it's patently thread
unsafe - using venkman w/ threads will get your app killed faster than
you can make a peep).

you can still look at it for an example of something that /mostly/
works (in fact the only reason venkman doesn't work is that most of its
callbacks are DOM objects, and dom objects aren't threadsafe, but
fixing that requires rewriting very large portions of venkman :()
