There is an "add" event but I think this only gets fired if your are attaching to a Container not a UIComponent.
There is an "added" event however the addedHandler is declared private in UIComponent so cant be overridden. I guess I could duplicate what UIComponent does and add another "added" event Handler (called something else instead of course, though it bugs me a component needs to create multiple event handler for the same event, see earlier post). This fires before the component is initialized so I think the logic would be in the handler to check the "initialized" flah and if false do nothing and pick everything up in the initialization complete function, if true execute the code here.
