Typically such problems have to do with the two-thread approach in the
"w32" code, which again has to do with emacs unfortunate event system
(aka. command_loop) which is not really compatible with GUI backends
(w32, gtk).
Basically: Replace the command_loop by callbacks, then get rid of the
w32-GUI-thread, then watch how the problems disappeared. Magically ;-)
