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. Chris
