The new window input system dispatch all input event
on window object which are able to catch the event.  
For all windows objet you can decide if it is sensible
or not. In the same way, you decide if you window is
modal or not.
For all objet there is a special callback list. 
Example : If an objet become sensible the sensible
callback is executed. If a window become modal ...

I think i need take a look at the event_list to
understand what you mean.
I think you mean window objet must inherite from
event_list to register more easily python callback.
So if you mean this, there are no problem.
