Hello All

For quite a while now I have wanted a good solution to the problem of 
ensuring that the user interface for my artificial chemistry simulation 
(SimSoup) is active while the simulation is running.

I have tried various options, with varying degrees to success. I knew 
that a good solution would entail multi-threading, but didn't know enough 
to implement it. Finally I think I have it figured out. I have posted a 
demo program showing the basic technique at. 

http://www.simsoup.info/SimSoup/GUI_With_Worker_Threads.html

It is for the GTKMM C++ interface to Gtk that SimSoup uses.
