Comment:

 Replying to [comment:32 gk]:
 > So I wonder whether we should separate the two problems and treat them
 differently: fixing the hang on New Identity with the
 processNextEvent/suppressEventHandling idea and trying the other one for
 the hang during start-up.

 I convinced myself that this might be a good approach and have a fix for
 this bug in my bug_9531_v2 branch in my public Torbutton repo.
