No, they don't. Ffenestri uses the event loop that is currently used.
Events include (as bert pointed out) a window index so you can
discern which window they are relevant to. If you wanted to do a
fullblown host-widget-everything system you would almost certainly
have to handle all those nasty callbacks and other poor design
decisions, but to get >host windows< and use them for Squeak you
don't need anything like so much complexity.
Nor do you need a separeate image for a dialogue either. At least,
not under any circumstances I've ever heard of. What makes you think
otherwise?
