Description Steven R. Shaw CLA 2006-03-29 17:35:55 EST 
This defeats the purpose of spawning the request asynchronous since it prevents clients refreshing EditParts on a separate thread.

Scenario:
- Client creates a model element on a separate thread which triggers AbstractEditPart.refreshChildren which then triggers creation of Figure and hence validation.  Validation causes update which then NPE because Display.getCurrent() is called.
