Re: How to receive events (eg. user mouse clicks) from IE

There does appear to be some sort of conflict between the two event
hooks. I wasn't seeing it before since IE was getting google from my
browser cache and it was coming up almost instantaneously. As soon
as I switched the URL to a page that loads slowly, I got the same
result.

Adding win32gui.PumpWaitingMessages() to the wait loop
seems to allow both event hooks to run without blocking each other.
