That is one way. (GTK + Lesstif) - although the fact it doesn't crash
doesn't mean it isn't possible ;)

I hit a racy crash at GTK HID start-up under valgrind today (valgrind
makes the start-up very slow, so you can hit them easier). Something
about a key-press being received and acted upon before PCB was fully
ready for it.

(I've never seen the crash in normal practice, so I'm not going to go 
chasing for it).

I think with Ineiev's modifications, it is pretty safe anyway.. since he
adjusted the patch such that it only effects non GUI hids.

Can you confirm that version still works as you wanted? If so, I'll
commit it.

Best wishes,

Peter C.
