Can you enter a bug report with the
code?  NOTE: Multiple displays are currently supported on Windows
and Motif.  This has not changed (unless we have a bug) moving to
3.1.

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Multiple Display Issue in Linux

Hello All,

I recently upgraded to SWT 3.1 and it no longer supports multiple displays
in Linux.  My program creates a splash screen with a progress bar
that updates as the main application launches.  To fix the multiple
display issue I pass the main UI display to the splash screen class to
use.  The issue arises in that I must create a separate thread to
run the splash screen while the main app loads.  SWT/UI calls can
not be made in any thread except the main UI thread which is running.  This
is an easy fix using the call ‘display.asyncExec()’, however this seems
to queue its newly created thread and only runs it after the main app is
finished loading.  I have been mucking around with this and scanning
the internet for a few days with no luck.  Has anyone experienced
any similar issues?  Thanks  
-Cole
