Hardly; the RiscOS vm isn't event driven as yet.

Tried it both ways to no effect. The problem is that the nextEvent stuff
is taking up SO much time that there is almost never enough 'spare' time
to let the system decide to #checkForNewScreenSize.

Hah! I have enough pain to handle right now without digging into that
particular sore. Somebody that has some ideas what Morphic actually
wants to get would be a better bet. Somebody that actually remembers how
it got to the current state would be even better.

Well yes, but my issue was more why it nver got called; with a non-nil
eventQueue it gets skipped. After manually nilling eventQueue I was
a) surprised it dodn't die
b) stunned that it made no performance difference.
