Has anyone tried to integrate RPC mechanisms within the X toolkit
event loop programming model?  I am looking specifically for anyone who
has experience with Sun's ONC system or Apollo/HP/OSF's NCS RPC mechanisms
with any X toolkit.  It doesn't seem to me to be a straight forward problem
since both types of libraries (X & RPC) make certain assumptions about blocking
on sockets reads and neither was designed with the other in mind.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
