I'm still searching along those lines. I tried to post a "hide" event, after
calling Main_Exit, and it worked (Main_Loop was exited), but the tasking
system seems to be completely jammed after that (a rendezvous is never
accepted???). Still trying to understand what happens...

But I want the same program to run on Linux (that's the goal of Gtk, isn't
it ;-)...
