One suggestion is to use GtkAda; it already solves this problem.

But if you are doing this to learn how it is done, here are some other
ideas.

Place the event loop task outside both generics, and pass a pointer to
it in the generic formal parameters.

Use a simple procedure for the event loop, not a task. Then the
procedure can be called at any point to get a nested event loop. That
gives you modal dialog boxes, for example.
