Hi Benjamin,

I don't think it is... There is no way to register callback in IDL
except within the widget system. I should say I'm on pretty shaky
ground since I haven't looked at this in a long time but I wanted to
implement a simple callback in a dlm and the only way I could figure out
how to do it was by using WIDGET_STUB to send events to IDL's widget
event system.

I understand that 95% of events are generated by a GUI but it would be
nice to have some sort of mechanism to handle the other 5%. Timers and
socket I/O come to mind.
