 It's called every time there are no _more_ messages to process in the
queue. The "more" is important, i.e. the idle event is generated only when
the queue becomes empty, not while it remains empty. To get a continuous
stream of idle events, you need to call event.RequestMore() in your
EVT_IDLE handler. Of course, this means that your program will consume 100%
of the CPU time so this is not usually recommended.

 Finally, this behaviour should be the same under all platforms. If it's
different under Mac, it's a bug in wxMac.
