He may not, but he is creating them! But it is possible he does want 
multiple duplicate windows, one monitoring each thread. (eg progress 
dialogs on an FTP program). Since I don't know the context I'm
assuming he knows how many windows he wants!

If he does want just one then he needs to reference the global object in 
his run() method... But that brings us back into the land of 
synchronisation issues and threadsafe locks etc.
