-- | Acquire the global Gtk lock.
--
-- * During normal operation, this lock is held by the thread from which all
-- interaction with Gtk is performed. When calling 'mainGUI', the thread will
-- release this global lock before it waits for user interaction. During this
-- time it is, in principle, possible to use a different OS thread (any other
-- Haskell thread that is bound to the Gtk OS thread will be blocked anyway)
-- to interact with Gtk by explicitly acquiring the lock, calling Gtk functions
-- and releasing the lock. However, the Gtk functions that are called from this
-- different thread may not trigger any calls to the OS since this will
-- lead to a crash on Windows (the Win32 API can only be used from a single
-- thread). Since it is very hard to tell which function only interacts on
-- Gtk data structures and which function call actual OS functions, it
-- is best not to use this feature at all. A better way to perform updates
-- in the background is to spawn a Haskell thread and to perform the update
-- to Gtk widgets using 'postGUIAsync' or 'postGUISync'. These will execute
-- their arguments from the main loop, that is, from the OS thread of Gtk,
-- thereby ensuring that any Gtk and OS function can be called.

-- | Processes a single GDK event. This is public only to allow filtering of events between GDK and
-- GTK+. You will not usually need to call this function directly.
--
-- While you should not call this function directly, you might want to know how exactly events are
-- handled. So here is what this function does with the event:
--
-- 1. Compress enter\/leave notify events. If the event passed build an enter\/leave pair together with
-- the next event (peeked from GDK) both events are thrown away. This is to avoid a backlog of
-- (de-)highlighting widgets crossed by the pointer.
--
-- 2. Find the widget which got the event. If the widget can't be determined the event is thrown away
-- unless it belongs to a INCR transaction. In that case it is passed to
-- 'selectionIncrEvent'.
--
-- 3. Then the event is passed on a stack so you can query the currently handled event with
-- 'getCurrentEvent'.
--
-- 4. The event is sent to a widget. If a grab is active all events for widgets that are not in the
-- contained in the grab widget are sent to the latter with a few exceptions:
--
-- * Deletion and destruction events are still sent to the event widget for obvious reasons.
--
-- * Events which directly relate to the visual representation of the event widget.
--
-- * Leave events are delivered to the event widget if there was an enter event delivered to it
-- before without the paired leave event.
--
-- * Drag events are not redirected because it is unclear what the semantics of that would be.
--
-- Another point of interest might be that all key events are first passed through the key snooper
-- functions if there are any. Read the description of 'keySnooperInstall' if you need this
-- feature.
--
-- 5. After finishing the delivery the event is popped from the event stack.
