 * An event which executes the <code>run()</code> method on a <code>Runnable

 * Instances of this class are placed on the <code>EventQueue</code> by calls
 * to <code>invokeLater</code> and <code>invokeAndWait</code>. Client code
 * can use this fact to write replacement functions for <code>invokeLater
