My second question is, if there is no current workaround then how can we remedy this situation? It seems like there could be an api function like: runOnOriginalThread :: IO a -> IO a
Isn't there something on Cocoa that would allow you to implement this function? For example, to implement postGUISync [1] on Gtk2Hs, Glib's g_idle_add() [2] is used [3]. To implement Gtk.Application.Invoke [4] on Gtk#, Glib's g_timeout_add with a timeout of 0 seconds is used [6]. In other words, some way of running an arbitrary function inside Cocoa's event loop.
