Just for clarification: you are referring to imessages and dynshmem 
here, right? I agree that dynshmem needs to be reworked and rethought. 
And imessages simply depends on dynshmem.

If you are referring to the bgworker stuff, I'm not quite clear about 
what I could do to make bgworker more acceptable. (Except perhaps for 
removing the dependency on imessages).
