See summary. Dispatching to the main thread and blocking, especially during
state changes, can easily cause deadlocks. Currently we only do that because of
the window that is created by the sinks if the user did not embed the widget
anywhere. No normal application needs this but all applications now have to
live in fear of deadlocks.
