I believe all events which are not raised by an user action (keyboard,
mouse, etc) shall be handled by such a separate queue. Currently,
TIMER_EVENT, BUFFER_SWITCH_EVENT, DBUS_EVENT and FILE_NOTIFY_EVENT would
fall into this category. Maybe also USER_SIGNAL_EVENT.

If processes would send events when changing the state, in addition to
calling their process-sentinel, their event type would also be a candidate.
