5. Event Handling

Event handling consists of getting events and then distributing them to the event handlers. In PLWM this is handled by the module event and its classes EventFetcher and EventDispatcher. If the event loop in the WindowManager is the heart driving the event blood stream, EventFetcher is the lungs providing fresh events (the oxygene) and EventDispatcher is the arteries delivering the events to all the working parts of the window manager body.

No, that analogue wasn't strictly necessary.

5.1 Event Objects  The blood cells, then.
5.2 EventFetcher  The source of events.
5.3 EventDispatcher  Making things happen with events.
