> The reason it was hard to reuse handleInputEvent is that these events are sent from the render process via a side channel, after the target rect is computed based on the page structure.  InputEventFilter assumes it sends all events, and crashes if it receives a didHandle/didNotHandle when its queue is empty.  I could special-case my event type to not send the didHandle/didNotHandle, or return an enum from the handleInputEvent requesting that the caller does it, or fix the filter to deal with it properly (though I don't know much about it so I didn't want to introduce new bugs).  Which do you prefer?

I think I need to know more about what you are trying to do then.  It seems very odd to send WebInputEvent subclasses through something other than handleInputEvent.  It seems equally odd to not be sending them through the normal HandleInputEvent IPC mechanism.
