- I think this is the right thing to do, if you want to "play by the rules".
- Setting the frame busy makes it ignore events, so your application appears
- to be blocked, even though it really isn't.
-
- Unfortunately, you have to do this to every frame, the one's that aren't busy
- can still get events.
