[vbox-dev] IEvent not triggering on some events ... ?

[Nikolay Igotti]

       Hi Joseph,

  I think you just hit an issue (aka bug) in VirtualBox - certain events 
not triggered when they should or could be triggered.
The only solution is to implement those.

Klaus, what do you think about when shall events firing  happen, do you 
have bit of time to look on that?

   Thanks,
      Nikolay
