Hi Walid, I don't think so that it is good idea to use ROOT in current version with pthreads. One think is ROOT itself and second one is X11 and graphics. If you have X11 libraries linked with pthread locking then half of work is done if not than forget it. As far as I know there is no any locking mechanism in ROOT at least in unix version and you take care of locking ROOT by global lock maybe you will get the chance to get it working correctly but I would better wait for unix thread-safe ROOT with pthreads support (in fact I've seen in root.cmz file some thread and mutex classed which could be compiled in by selecting them).
