[comp.windows.x] Detecting/Compressing Multiple Exposure Events - my way.

jim@athsys.uucp (Jim Becker) (09/08/88)

	For my needs I have decided to check the event queue hanging
off of the display myself. I haven't coded or tried this yet, but it
appears easy to do. The only danger appears to be the LockDisplay()
and UnlockDisplay() macros, which are null on the Sun but may be
something real elsewhere.

	I haven't tried this as of yet, but it looks like it will be ok!
It's a lot less forboding than playing with the Wire stuff (although I
assume that it's "breaking the law").

Yup, no guarantee of portability between Xlib's, or even compatibility
with future MIT Xlib implementations.
