I think making redisplay a separate thread would be one of the more useful improvements in Emacs. The situation where the user clicks File->Open from the menu bar and then (under a toolkit), while the file-selection box is active, the Emacs display never changes, looks like a bug. (Try moving the file-selection box to a different position and observe the blank portions of the Emacs window.)
