No and IMHO your approach is wrong. If your widget is not ready for
usage it shouldn't be shown in the GUI or accept GUI events. The latter
can be achieved by overriding the relevant event-handling functions in a
subclass and ignore the event. Then once the widget is ready it can call
the base-class implementation of the event-handlers. A widget where I
click on and it doesn't react, but 5 seconds later it suddenly does
something is not very usable - IMHO.
