As for my application, calling  FXApp#disableThreads really doesn't allow my threads
run, and I run Ruby 1.8.1 (standard Debian testing package).

Anyway, as far as radiobuttons are concerned, FXDataTarget is way cool, but
one can simply do something like this:

            current_radiobutton.connect(SEL_COMMAND){
                all_radiobuttons.reject{|r| 
                    r == current_radiobutton
                }.each {|r|
                    r.checkState = false
                }
            }

and though it's not so nice as an FXDataTarget, it solves the problem in a threaded application.
