I believe that David Kendall's problems ("Funky Find / Keyboard UI") from
a month ago are really due to ignoring appStopEvents -- but I need to get
around to posting an explanation of that belief. :-)
Note for example that the Palm OS Reference specifically forbids ignoring
appStopEvent (Event Reference, p71). While the documentation shouldn't
be taken as infallible, IMHO it's safer to think more carefully about
what you really want to ban, and instead consume keyDownEvents for the
launcher and application buttons before you pass them to SysHandleEvent.
To be sure, this isn't as infallible (what if there's some other event
that turns into appStopEvent that you've omitted), so you might want to
trap appStopEvents too while testing.
