Something else I should say.  I do think that the event listener isn't 
necessary.  That is, most everything I can think of on the GUI side can 
be event driven by signals.  However, going the other direction is a 
different issue.  I think things that go to the Octave thread have to be 
queued in almost all cases.  The issue there is that Octave can be busy 
for a long time and waiting for a response from the Octave thread should 
be avoided.  I'll write back with more this afternoon.
