its not as trivial as you might think, because the lifetime of the
object during event processing can be important. generally, i like to
use a one-shot idler handler, combined with a template function:

template<class T> bool delete_when_idle (T* obj) {
	delete obj;
}

    ... signal_idle().connect (bind
(ptr_fun(delete_when_idle<TypeOfObject>), obj));
