Basically that, plus removing the event handling from RootLayer.
Also, if I find the time, I want to have a more powerful protocol 
between the input_server and the app_server to get things started. The 
way it's done now is a bit too simple, I think :)

Since that doesn't happen on real hardware, I would just guess that 
it's because Haiku runs so slow in qemu - at least I don't remember 
seeing it.
