It hangs immediately when I start the script by clicking on its icon.
What do you mean with "I'd use an Event" ? I thought an Event object
is automatically generated when I click on a widget, or press a key,
or something. Are you saying can I can programmatically generate an
Event, faking a real mouse/key press? How so? That is something I
always wanted to know ;)
