I have an application (really a minimal rewrite of an old Windowing package to talk to X). The old applications are not event driven (I know I know, but that's the way they go:-() I need a clean way to deal with ExposureEvents that can be done async. I have tried forking a separate thread, and doing a XNextEvent, but that lock's the display and hangs the application. I tried doing a select on the file descriptor, and then doing XCheckWindowEvent, but that hangs the code too. Help! Jason
