According to the FAQ, this code will ensure that all events are processed
and that high priority idle functions are run.  Which functions are high
priority?  The FAQ mentions drawing as one; are there any other high
priority functions, and are there any low priority idle functions (ie. is
there anything that *won't* happen inside this code)?
