TTimer - discussive

Hello, Rooters.

  To simplify event-driven programming
it whould be nice to make possible to have  
classes similar the following


 class LiveObject: public TObject, public TTimer
{
public:
  LiveObject() {gSystem->AddTimer(this);}

void  ExecuteEvent(Int_t event, Int_t px, Int_t py)
{ some actions in responce to graphic events 
 (for example, if(event==kButton1Up) TTimer::Remove();) 
}

Bool_t Notify() {SomeAction(); Reset(); return kFALSE;}
};



The only obstacle which prevents having this is  that
TTimer is original from TObject (TObject->TSysEvtHandler->TTimer).

  Is it possible to have inheritance like this:
  
  TSysEvtHandler -> TVirtualTimer 
  TVirtualTimer + TObject -> TTimer 

or it requires dramatic modifications of ROOT?

                  With best regards,     Valery
