Hmm.. weird. I'm just trying your code snippet on SBCL and it doesn't seem  
to work. DRAW-SIMPLE gets called only once at the beginning, after that  
the window seems to go catatonic. No redraws or reactions to window close  
events.
I get
WARNING:
    recursive lock attempt #S(SB-THREAD:MUTEX
                              :NAME "event queue"
                              :LOCK 0
                              :DATA NIL
                              :VALUE 3737)

It works fine if SCHEDULE-TIMER-EVENT is removed. With no animations, of  
course ;-)
I didn't know about the schedule-timer-event though, so if it's supposed  
to work that's probably what i need. Thanks for the pointer.
