I decided to change the call to FlistUnseenFolders so that it runs in the 
foreground because I couldn't figure out how to make it run correctly in the 
background and, at least on my system, it doesn't seem to take much time 
anyway.

I'd still like some API documentation on the background/foreground stuff.
