* We now use event_queue.empty() to see if it is indeed empty. * Changed AppWindow.journal_event() to also use .empty() rather than `while True`. Keeping the `'if not entry'` check just in case. This prevents it from calling monitor.get_entry() when the prior run through the loop has just emptied the queue. Thus we'll only log when it genuinely IS unexpectedly empty. * During *game* Shutdown we can send the synthetic 'Shutdown' event through, and then find and append the actual game 'Shutdown' event (i.e. this wasn't a crash, which is what the synthetic event is meant to react to). But AppWindow.journal_event() loop picks up both events in one call, so the second <<JournalEvent>> sends it working on an empty queue. Thus we log in monitor.get_entry() only if the queue is empty *and* the game is still running. * NB: Also adds 'Component' to the OTHER place montitor.state is initialised.
