Hi Sean,

All of the code I quoted is being run on the main thread.  What we  
can't do is dedicate the main thread to *only* handling events,  
spawning a separate thread for everything else.  We need to deal with  
programs that are written to run entirely on the main thread,  
periodically calling Render() to do their drawing also on the main  
thread.  And like I said, mouse events *inside* the window are being  
handled correctly.  It's just that a subset of events (those related  
to the window frame itself, not the window contents) are not.
