If the handler thread happens to be processing an update event, then
the drawing area is automatically limited to the update region. So the
non-handler thread might not paint as much of the canvas as you meant.

I only recently noticed this problem --- though this problem showed up
one layer deeper for me, in implementing Mac OS X controls.
