No. The GUIs I know of (GTK, Android, etc) are all single threaded and any
other threads which need to use the GUI need to queue a request on the GUI
thread.

I am used to Java Swing and .NET WinForms where event thread is not
main thread.
 But I guess it sort of makes sense to combine them. Main thread
usually doesn't do anything after kicking of the GUI stuff.
 But any time one need to do anything time consuming in the GUI
then it needs to be done in its own thread but GUI updates
need to be done by the GUI thread.

But I assume that the typical GTK application does use many threads.
If I look at Windows GUI applications that also runs on Linux then I see:
FireFox (just 1 tab open) - 96 threads
ThunderBird - 72 threads
LibreOffice - 22 threads
Is it different on Linux?
