since I have issues on Windows, I reverted to version 39983 the whole 
respository and I don't have any special event issueanymore (but the gui 
doesn't update as it does with on unix! and I get some exceptions). I 
tried also having full head except for NSRunLoop.

The "intermediate" release which revision 39983 seems to work, but If I 
play with FTP a while I get NSGenericException: Trying to send message 
to an invalid Proxy. You should request NSConnectionDidDieNotification's 
and release all references to the proxy's of invalid Connections.

I would sum it up this way:

- Distant Past: Used to work
- Recent Past: no updates on gui
- first fix by Richard: Windows: no updates on GUI, Unix: seems to work
- last fix by Richard: Windows: UI events broken, Unix: continues to work
