I realise I could write my own custom run loop input source, but it
seems like overkill if I could install a simple run loop observer
and somehow just wake it up when I want it to re-initialize. Is
there a way to do that?
You don't have to write a custom run-loop source. Just add an
NSPort instance as a source and message it for the "kick".
Cheers,

Yes, and on 10.5, you can also use the method - [NSObject
performSelector:onThread:withObject:waitUntilDone:], that will wake up
the target thread runloop.
