Comment(by cpinkham):

 (In [24310]) Add a helper method so that we can check whether we are in
 the UI thread or
 not.  We don't want to block LIRC, the joystick, or drawing when called
 outside the UI thread so use this helper to check to see if we are in the
 UIthread.  Disabling drawing from the UI thread can also cause segfaults
 as indicated in #8194 and #8391.

 References #8194 and #8391.

 This fix is only temporary in trunk.  I have a different version in a
 local checkout that will be committed later as part of a patch to move
 parts of MythContext to libmythdb where they can be utilized by
 myth_system() and the rest of libmythui.

 This does update the API version, so make clean, etc..
