That's right. You do need to use CustomEvents.addEvent() I tested using
it in the demo app I wrote (I've posted here about it before - if you
don't know what I'm talking about, see=20
http://research.operationaldynamics.com/ but note that link is subject

Frankly, I hate this usage model. It's extraordinarily annoying because
you're forced to make anything you want to pass in as a parameter a
field of the class as opposed to just a local variable [as local
variables are out of scope when you write an anonymous inner class to
implement the Runnable which is the argument to addEvent()]

I'm not sure what a better approach would be, but surely in Java land
someone can think of something better.
