QT has a fonction that just process pending events except the interactive one.

It means that the wait hook must process event, or wait until a given duration 
elapses.

Look in gbx_subr_misc.c at line 71: the wait hook is called repeatedly until 
duration really elapses. Maybe, liek the QT function, the GTK function exists 
immediately if it processes at least one event.
