Subject: [PATCH] added Window_Interaction_Handler and a simple dialog on
 startup
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Window_Interaction_Handler can be used as a bus system. It is designed to keep track of events until they are being read out somewhere.
The dialog on startup checks whether a config file exists and prompts to create one if it doesn’t.
