If you have a look at the MIT Xt manual you will notice it states that XtMainLoop() is a trivial procedure. It's of the form: void XtMainLoop() { XEvent ev; while (1) { XtNextEvent(&ev); XtDispatchEvent(&ev); } } You can implement your own variation of the above to, say, check for a global flag each time round the loop and taking appropriate action if set.
