[osg-users] Switch call to viewer::frame() between threads

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Steven,

osgViewer was never designed to be used in the way you want to use it,
there are almost certainly better ways of doing what you want to do
functionally and a simpler way that trying play games with who invokes
frame.  It's just a bad approach so trying to help do something that
isn't sensible is a waste of our time and yours.

Robert.
