Yes, the problem is that when we surrender to the virtual console we
don't know what you're running. There are other things drawing on the
screen, so we have to grab the lock and hold it. That does mean that the
next time Maya tries to draw something it will hand waiting for the
lock. It's really the only safe and correct thing we can do.
