- One way of doing this would be to have a common event loop for all
- windows. After a particular event eg. LEFTMOUSE pressed, you can check
- from which window the event originated( the active window ) using the
- function winget(). winget() returns a window id ( a int ). Each window
- opened by a process will have a different ID. Once the window ID is known
- appropriate action can be taken.

- I have not used dgl.
