Thanks but it is just what beos does, it isn't an original idea of mine :)

Actually, we already use BAppServerLink in BApplication and in the various 
classes (BCursor, etc.) to handle communication.
So I think we have just to change a bit the implementation of BAppServerLink: 
instead of locking be_app, it has to acquire its own (static) lock.
Does this sound right ? Am I missing something ? Stephan ? Darkwyrm ? Axel ? :)

I would but I'm not yet up to speed with the development, so I couldn't test 
the changes (please bear with me for some more time).
