uievent: Fix an init race

There is a race where the registerEventHandler() server call may happen in
a different thread to the main UI, causing the main UI to see
httplib.CannotSendRequest exceptions.

This moves the call into the main thread, removing the init race and fixing
errors I was seeing with the xmlrpc backend.
