Dependency properties in a MTA thread, Part 2

It seems it is easier accessing dependency properties on the STA (UI) from some MTA thread than it is to access dependency properties on the MTA thread from the STA (UI).

So I decided to go for the 'clipboard' approach, before calling the STA thread first copy the DP's to the clipboard and then paste from the clipboard in the STA, and vice versa.

Seems to work fine sofar.
