I use XManager, I just use many individual instances of it, all of
which are non-blocking and therefore just set up yet more widgets to
be polled in the event loop and get out of the way. However, behind
the scenes, all objects constantly communicate with each other
regarding various things using non-event "messages", like "I've just
changed my array value here, in case you're interested". So the
pattern of method calls is very different from a traditional "up the
widget tree" program structure. Messages are based on subscription
lists which can and do change dynamically during runtime (Obj1 to
Obj2: I'm interested in messages about array changes now, but not
later, etc.).
