Relying on threads' names is inherently unsafe.

Better to iterate the components in the ThreadAdjuster and put a listener
to the Apply button. But even that is suboptimal design.

The best would be to have a NonBlockingGenericDialog whose button the user
should press instead of the Apply button. That'll be always safe and does
not require any hackery.
