	Try writing a timer callback that does your long processing job
and then right before you want to do that do:
XtAppAddTimeOut(appcontext,0,timerCB,NULL);
This adds the time out at the end of the event queue (because it goes off
immediately) and so forces the processing of everything in front of it.
(i.e. expose events...)
