In 0.10, we made it mandatory, if an application wants to share it's X11
display connection, that connection need to be made threadsafe. For clutter, it
means initialising X11 threading before anything else, and explicitly. A plugin
cannot do that "as it might be too late".

The problem with the idea about using idle, is that the idle will run in the
main thread, which is the same thread that controls the pipeline. During
synchronous state transition, that used to lead to deadlocks (no solution).
