Indeed it does work with SwEvent.  Thank you very much Antti.  If that
was in the doc then I definitely skipped right over it.  Makes sense
because surely the symbian impl is calling SendMessage.

Our ideal solution is still to use an embedded WebView, so if anyone
has any information on why it crashes and if there's a workaround or
if it will be fixed in the next release then that would be great.
