This only means that the top application, which received the event, must
reroute the event to proper place after discovering that there is none of
its windows at the place where the user for example clicked. Still this
can be done by the event library (running in user context) and there is no
need to put all this into the device driver. 

Basically, i would be for trying to invent the proper clean way of
designing things in a respect of what is considered a clean programming
menthod under MiNT. But at the other hand I must say that I enjoy the
brainstorm type of discuss we are having now about the topic.
