Using browser bookmark to navigate

I have a main controller that is assigned to a template zul, there I have a menu where I update certain parts of the website, like I keep the header and footer and the content area is updated via AJAX.

I followed this tutorial:

http://books.zkoss.org/wiki/ZK_Developer's_Reference/UI_Patterns/Browser_History_Management (http://books.zkoss.org/wiki/ZKDeveloper'sReference/UIPatterns/BrowserHistory_Management)

Now in my "main controller" (which I named TemplateController) I subscribe to bookmark changes like this:

private void addEventListenerBookmark(){
        getCurrentPage().addEventListener("onBookmarkChange", new EventListener() {
            public void onEvent(Event event) throws UiException {
                String bookmark = ((BookmarkEvent) event).getBookmark();
                procesaBookmark(bookmark);
            }
        });
    }

which is called on my TemplateController constructor:

  public TemplateController()
    {

        subscribeColaEventos();
    }

This works fine, so if for instance from the index page I select menuoption1 I append #option1 to my url and then I can go back to the index page with the browser.

The problem is, if I directly load index.zul#option1, the rendering process first renders the index page, and when it's done it goes on rendering my option1 page; it seems the controller only gets subscribed to the bookmark event queue after page rendering.
