I'm having some trouble pinning down an overview of 3.7 and was hoping someone
could clarify some issues for me.

So far:

- Client: entrypoint and basic init (the session).
- Frontend: the state machine; a single thread that populates a queue with work
from the view.
- Backend: multiple worker threads that grab work from the queue and render.

I can follow the code until Start(), but things get a little hairy here and I
can't seem to figure out the state machine.

Any help or links would be most appreciated.
