Thanks for the explanation, I do vaguely recall a mention of this now.

Can we get rid of gui_poll() with the active flag as well?  I don't
like the polling for events that forces the frontend to do.  I doubt
it is practical without multi-threading everything though, and I'm
not sure if this is possible on all target platforms.
