Me, too, but this is not supported out of the box. Event listeners so far are always registered with an existing object, which you need to know in advance. However, a true message system should not depend on having to know where events are dispatched - it should only need to know about the events. For qxtransformer, we have created the concept of "global events", i.e. events registered and dispatched at the level of the application object. However, it would be much better if qooxdoo would support this concept natively and would allow to route events, for example also to the server.
