Re: Can the Guile library be reentrant

You can look at the scwm code -- we have our main event loop written in
C, just doing scheme callbacks as appropriate.  See:

http://web.mit.edu/mstachow/www/scwm.html

for the distribution. scwm.c contains the startup code, and in
particular scwm_gh_enter and scwm_gh_launch_pad.

Good luck!
