(speculation):
 1) new city info arrive
 2) city dialog is updated
 3) cma_core acts
 4) cma disable itself

In the non-existing point 5) the city dialog need to be
refreshed. Possible solutions:
 a) let the city dialog scan the events and act upon
 E_CITY_CMA_RELEASE
 b) let cma_core call back some function in the front-end code (layer
 violation)
 c) let the city dialog be another agent which actions are carried out
 after the CMA and the action is to compare to the previous state and
 update the GUI.
