It wouldn't be running from the background thread.  The vsync-emulation 
would work as it does now, but retrace_count would be incremented from 
the bgman thread instead of the timer thread.  That should work, but it 
might cause other problems that I haven't thought about.  To be safe 
(and for a nicer fit with the existing code), we can just introduce a 
different counter that is incremented from the bgman thread and leave 
retrace_count to be incremented by the timer thread.
