[gtkada] Creating a Window from a task

[Dominique Canazzi]

As far as I can remember, any other task can create a window and its
chid widgets (and modify them), as long as the event loop is in the main task.
Do not forget to protect your Gui operations with the GTK semaphore.

This constraint on the event loop leads to ugly design schemes, so if
anybody has an idea about how to dispatch UI events to other tasks, ...
