In you checkin comment you state "In the long run I think we should get rid of the AppKit event queue". What benefit do we get from only getting one event at a time from the X event queue? We would also loose the ability to post events into the queue from code. Or would you want to generate an X event from the NSEvent and put that in the X queue?
A separate queue allows us to generate multiple events from one X event, or as seen in your scrollwheel code, to compress events.
I think that these changes are wrong and that we rather should try to find out how to better manage our event queue to get the benefits from it.
Depending on an X11 event queue means increased difficulty with running on non-X11 platforms.
