Yeah I have seen that but haven't tried it on the account that 
I'll have the same problem as before where I cannot pass Display 
to the spawned Process.

I think if I used core.Thread I would be able to do this easily 
but I wanted to first investigate a possible solution with 
std.concurrency.spawn and its additional checks.

Maybe D needs a way to mark an object as Thread-Local and bypass 
some of these checks.
