Comment (by jscipione):
With the new understanding I've come to have, please disregard the above
idea. I realize now this crash is probably caused by the view being
deleted before being passed to the Draw() method of the screensaver and
has nothing to do with locking.
I had previously experimented with passing a message from the runner
thread back to the window thread, via a handler passed into the
constructor and having the window thread do the drawing instead so that
the runner thread would not have to lock the window before drawing or even
be aware of the windows existence in order to prevent locking issues.
But, firstly, lock contention wasn't a problem here anyway, and secondly I
don't want to do the drawing in the window thread because that thread
needs to be free to do other things like receive mouse and keyboard input
and draw other things while the runner thread is drawing the screensaver.
