I did not say it explicitely, but meant it that way. See WakeMainThread 
( http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/classes/wakemainthread.html ).

WakeMainThread is used by the LCL to initiate an idle-event (whatever an 
"event" is for the underlying widgetset) so that CheckSynchronize gets 
executed.
