Postpone error message display if not in GUI thread
Calls to report_error() crashed if not called from GUI thread. Fix this by postponing error message display if not in GUI thread. Code that creates a thread which possibly calls report_error() is responsible for calling MainWindow::showErrors() to flush the accumulated messages. Note that there is a race condition in report_error() and get_error_string(). Nevertheless, hitting it should be rather unlikely (two threads producing error messages at the same time) and hopefully it can be fixed rather easily.
