As you see I also kill the thread which is running the event manager

I use the library I see the following message being continually

ghc: ioManagerWakeup: write: Bad file descriptor

I'm afraid we don't provide a way to shut down an event manager synchronously at the moment. You'll have to submit a patch if you want to add that capability. Perhaps you could add a way to specify an "onShutdown :: IO ()" hook that would be called by the event manager thread once it shuts down.
