That part is confusing to me. Why have the gui responsive if it should not
be doing any work?
So that:
a) The window can be resized
b) The window can be moved
c) The app could be closed
d) The app can repaint itself if a window is moved over it
Having a responsive UI which doesn't allow any UI-specific
functionality (i.e. none of the extra buttons are enabled etc) is
common and *much* better than having an unresponsive UI.
