X itself is not terribly thread friendly, though X11R6 purports to
support threads in some limited fashion.
There is some discussion of the thread compatibility in the O'Reilly
X11R6 supplement manual. You might take a look there. Offhand, not
having studied this subject in a lot of detail, I don't know how well
this will work WRT XForms.
The best counsel I can give is to develop your threaded application in
such a way that only one thread attempts to communicate with X or
XForms and the other threads make appropriate requests to the X thread
for interaction.
