PCB itself doesn't seem to use any threads but Gtk internal functions
can when they are filling data such as reading the file system to
set up a file browsing window.  This would include the dialogs for loading to
pastebuffer, saving file as, etc.  There might be some other Gtk internal
operation that would trigger a thread, but offhand I'm not sure what.
