Perhaps a later will be, but the current isn't. This is not a proper argument against enabling threads in the Debian package. If Guile is thread safe itself, I don't see why the existence of a non-thread-safe Guile library should prevent users in general from the benefit of threads. Also, note that as long as the user refrains from calls to `make-thread' or `begin-thread', no nasty things will happen, even with Gtk. :) /mdj
