Yeah.  I'm not certain about how to do that, but it should be feasible.

Yeah; that means using MsgWaitForMultipleObjects instead of
WaitForMultipleObjects, basically (and checking for an extra possible return
value...).  I believe more than strictly GUI stuff will require this, in
fact -- I suspect COM will not function properly in a thread that is blocked
in WaitForMultipleObjects, from what I have read.
