+// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+// A note on how events are processed, which is probably the most
+// difficult thing to get working right while keeping the same API
+// and functionality for all platforms.
+//
+// When GSocket detects an event, it calls wx_socket_callback, which in
+// turn just calls wxSocketBase::OnRequest in the corresponding wxSocket
+// object. OnRequest does some housekeeping, and if the event is to be
+// propagated to the user, it creates a new wxSocketEvent object and
+// posts it. The event is not processed immediately, but delayed with
+// AddPendingEvent instead. This is necessary in order to decouple the
+// event processing from wx_socket_callback; otherwise, subsequent IO
+// calls made from the user event handler would fail, as gtk callbacks
+// are not reentrant.
+//
+// Note that, unlike events, user callbacks (now deprecated) are _not_
+// decoupled from wx_socket_callback and thus they suffer from a variety
+// of problems. Avoid them where possible and use events instead.
