Why it is a problem to call this on the toolkit thread directly?

They are quite similar if not identical. I suggest to check two solutions:
  - displayChanged is on toolkit thread, only listeners which can call 
users code executed on EDT.
  - The main logic on the toolkit thread all listeners are on related 
EDT(in this case we will need to save the appcontext of the listener on 
addDisplayChangedListener()).
