Upon a cursory inspection it should be almost trivial to replace the call to XPeekIfEvent with a simple loop that does the same thing but has a timeout value that prevents it from blocking indefinitely.
Why can't you use select()? select() takes a timeout value.
You did make me think of something. I was going to do the detection of pending events and processing of them in two steps before... which would have been really difficult. Instead, I am just going to go ahead and process any X event that comes in before the timeout and stop if I either reach the timeout or I process the type of event that I am looking for.
So far it compiles... now comes the acid test. :)
