Apart from my having made this error, my experience with event_pending 
is entirely positive. Using Mageia (Xfce) - hence, neither Wayland nor 
Broadway; "event_pending" behaves prefectly as it should.

The context is verifying the validity of a series of URLs; HEAD is 
iteratively called for each URL, using piped open to run it in its own 
process and thus avoiding that the GUI (Gtk) is paralysed while HEAD is 
running.
