And everything in the AES library - you would need a thread-safe AES
library, otherwise you would overwrite variables from the first AES call
that you just interrupted.

No, I don't think this would be a good idea. We could queue redraw events
for the application in question and draw some pattern on behalf of the app
while it is in the form_... call.

And then we should think about a method by which new applications can handle
this more elegant (without requiring them to have a library which handles
dialogs in windows - this should be part of the system).
