Description Joshua Lock - Disabled 2010-12-02 07:02:51 UTC 
Several of the BitBake UI's call the getEvent() method of the servers BBUIEventQueue to request messages for display, however; when using the none server (the default server) no events are ever received.

Use of the waitEvent() method allows the UI to receive events but introduces lag and blocking of UI threads.

If I switch to the xmlrpc server I am able to use the getEvent() method to request messages from the server.
