jackdaniels there's a circular dependency problem on your branch. compiling utils.lisp gives undefined variable: CLIM:+NOWHERE+, which is defined in design.lisp, which depends on utils.lisp.

imo we could do much better job with clipping areas, but I don't have patience to jump on that right now

good night! It's possible that it's just a font issue, but on this new box here when I click on an entry in the drawing-test test chooser, the entry "disappears". Not sure if that's a regression or not. (I doubt it, but I'll check).

But some code somewhere is probably missing some sort of warning about a font error.

What is the “correct” way to send asynchronous messages to a CLIM thread? (I.e. I have a UI that needs to be updated in real-time based on some external event in a different thread)

loke: there is no correct way at the moment, both event-queue and stream access are prone to races and/or corruption. you must do it from the same thread as the event loop

I even have an idea how to mitigate the issue: in case of queue we need a mailbox which is thread safe (some implementations have it, but implementation is not super hard), in case of stream we need around methods which check for thread affinity (if foreign thread, then operation is enqueued)

but prerequisite to meddle with multithreading is fixing single-threaded run (there is also ticket for that)

before we make things more complicated we need to assure it works just fine for the simplest of cases
