Handle mutual recursion on plugin side globally

This makes much more sense, since all plugin instances will be sharing a
single GUI thread. What would happen was that resize calls from one
instance and GUI thread function calls from another instance would
collide. Using a single shared mutual recursion mechanism (just like on
the Wine side) fixes this.
