Benoît:
This seems the solution indeed. It was really that: I don't understand that
task doesn't run in same process.
Another question:
Can be more than one task simultaneously?
I've tried to do so and the program abort with code 6 and this message on
console:

"[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not
been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
gbx3: ../../src/xcb_io.c:274: poll_for_event: La declaración
`!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' no se cumple."
