Last time I checked the noGUI Widget Type did not support TTimer or 
Thread-generated Events (e.g. TThread.Synchronize(), 
TApplication.QueuAsyncCall() ) which both are essential to construct 
event driven applications

This has been discussed already a long time ago. As there are only very 
few developers than need this it's absolutely OK that the Lazarus team 
does not dedicate their valuable resources on this issue. I would have 
started implementing such a Widget Type, if the application I had in 
mind would not have been canceled by the management.
