I have no strict preferences. So we could check also for config-changed-event.

focus-in/out events sound like triggered by a user action. So it is OK
to restart an idle-timer. My Emacs hasn't compiled them in.

For xwidget-event, I don't know whether it is based on a user action, or
something else. My Emacs isn't compiled with it.

OTOH, my Emacs knows ns-unput-working-text and ns-put-working-text in
special-event-map. Is that OK? I'm running Emacs on GNU/Linux.

Best regards, Michael.
