Note that GLFW requires that you perform window creation and glfwPollEvents from the main thread for compatibility reasons - [see this answer to a previous question about GLFW](http://discourse.glfw.org/t/multithreading-glfw/573/5).

If you’re following that advice, then all callbacks should occur on the main thread.
