I don't see why using GTKSupport.Util.signal_handling would be any sort of overkill; it's just normal pike code. You don't have to use the GTK C module to put it to use.

There is generic event (signal, in gtk parlance) code in the GTK (the pike-part) module.
Isn't this a bit too much - to use GTK for such simple purpose? It is like using a cannon to shoot a fly :)
BTW, I am thinking about generic (and _simple_) event handling facilities for Pike... Most of this may be implemented (or, to be precise, simulated) on top of callouts, though.
A model like one used in GNU Pth or libevent would be wonderful :)
