Another solution is to create the frame in a new eventspace (which
implies a new thread for the gui events):

(define frame (parameterize ([current-eventspace (make-eventspace)])
                (instantiate frame% ("Example"))))
(define msg (instantiate message% ("Hello World!" frame)))
(send frame show #t)
