Is there any way with Xlib to read events with a timeout? The only way
I can think of would be to flush the internal queue and then 
do a select on the file number that Xlib is using to talk to the server.
However this is not very portable. What I would like would be a version 
of XNextEvent with a timeout parameter that can take sub-second values.
