This is not enough. The "hook" you describe is a CheckMessage procedure.
You also need a procedural var (like WakeMainThread), which the gtk and
win32 widgetsets can handle when a new message arrives, and thus to "wake"
the main thread loop waiting for a user action.
Otherwise all ipc message would be ignored until the user does something
(not what you want most of the cases).
