Re: process an event without a window

I use a background thread to contact a server and then use PostEvent to 
deliver the results to the main thread. This has created a race condition 
where the server thread can sometimes (1 in a 100) return before the main 
window has been created. I'm currently creating a temporary wx.Frame and 
posting the event to that to work around the issue, but I figured there was 
a better way to do it.
