Well, a GUI can be active or not active. Just like a widget can be
shown or hidden. For a QWidget you get a Show/Hide event, and for the GUI
you get an activation event with a bool as argument, indicating whether
the GUI is activated or deactivated.

Where exactly do you need an event/notification for updating you GUI?
Perhaps you might want to introduce your own new event? Or just
use ActionLists or a whole GUIClient object?

Bye,
