I was thinking - could the reason be that events from timer have higher 
priority then events from the windowing system? then timer constantly 
causes the particle system to recalculate itself not leaving any time to 
check for mouse events.

hmm... but then mouse wouldn't ever have any chance. I'm puzzled. I 
guess time for me to read the sources of events related part of 
OpenGLContext, thanks for splitting it into separate directory ;-)
