Hi All.
I'm aware of two kinds of GUI event response mechanisms.
(I'm dropping phooey or cello since I don't know them.
Furthermore, their implementation is probably too different
of what I want to talk here.)
Many thanks for your enlightening discourse. Exposing the event-queue
is actually a pretty good idea, since it allows the processing of system
events completely on the Scheme side. I have played with ZMW once,
but found it quite slow. The approach is interesting, though. I think it
would make sense to write a very lowlevel abstraction layer (event-fetching,
toplevel window handling, basic widget operators) and do anything fancy
on top of that.
cheers,
