No. Because there is no such thing for most devices. GGI does not go through
a socket.
There can also be polled devices that won't trigger a select. This is why
there is no possibility to get the fds. The intention is to do it the other
way round: Add targets to LibGII or use the EventSelect function.

You mean the other app doesn't give it's fd either ? Tough luck, then.
You are either back to polling or writing a LibGII target that ties into
the native system you want to fit in.

For just X it would be possible. It should be trivial to e.g. hack a function
that calls ConnectionNumber for you into e.g. the wmh extension.
