I see. So I need to find the docs how to do a "pure" fpGUI project.

(Unfortunately,) the Event ("Message") Queue code is done in the Widget 
Type source code, so it it does work, at all, fpGUI needs to feature 
it's own implementation of same. (The reason is that "system-type" 
messages like TTimer Events and Thread generated Events needs to be 
mixed in a main-thread event queue together with GUI generated messages).

Thus the fpGUI implementation might be better than the gtk2 implementation.

I seem to remember that I found one in the bug tracker.

That would be great news. I'll give it another try. (And of course I'll 
try it with fpGUI, once I was able top create a "pure" fpGUI application 
to be sure that I in fact use the fpGUI based code)
