I guess the idea of having two event loops/thread is not in itself

Since this is Emacs you'd probably want to format your status info
in Lisp. Bye nice idea and welcome to thread hell.
I see no reason to format it in Lisp. Or rather my idea is that the
status information is formated by the lisp thread in advance and sent
to the gui thread in a non-lisp format. Then the gui thread can offer
that information without contactinog the lisp thread.
