Because Ruby's interpreter doesn't use native threads, we have to do 
some tricky things in FXRuby to make sure that Ruby threads are allowed 
to run alongside the FOX event loop. If your application isn't using 
any Ruby threads for anything, you might try disabling the 
aforementioned "tricky code" by calling the disableThreads() method on 
your application object, e.g.

	myApp.disableThreads

Hope this helps,
