Yes, somewhat.  It works on Linux, but polls continuously, so
cpu usage goes way up.  Here is what I did:

  cd FWTools-1.1.2/bin
  cp openev myown

edit myown to change last line from
    ... openev.py
to
    ... myown.py

  cd ../pymod
  cp openev.py myown.py

edit myown.py for 
  import my_subs

and just before the gtk.mainloop() line at the end, insert
  my_subs.my_go()

in the (new) file my_subs.py is this:

  def my_go():

        gview.app.file_open_by_name(sectional)
        # other stuff omitted...

        gvm = gview.GvManager()

        gvm.queue_task( "mytask", 25, mytask, (arguments, x ) )

  def pmeitask(args):
      # do stuff
      return 1     # keep calling me :( loops forever!!!

Maybe not the best way, but it works.
