Indeed, it doesn't solve the original problem at all, because you just have to keep dispatching randomly and hope for the best. > It would be nice if the recommended main loop was more like this: > > [snip horrible unpleasantness] > > That way it doesn't matter if wl_display_dispatch_pending doesn't clear > all of the events. Ugh. I really don't like the look of that; would be nice to have a wl_display_dispatch_some_subset_of_pending(), which would return failure / dispatched everything / still stuff left to dispatch. But I worry this takes us into libdbus API design territory ...
