I don't understand why this is so complicated.  Why not just have the
thread show a message, instead of having it send a signal which gets
translated into an event that makes the main thread show a message?

Also, if we eventually implement one of the proposals in emacs-devel to
allow threads other than the main one to accept keyboard input, then
there would be no guarantee that putting the event in the keyboard
buffer would get it to the main thread.
