It would be VERY useful if I could look ahead in my event queue with
the following conditions:

	(1) If the specific event isn't found, it shouldn't wait.

	(2) If the event is found, it should be left in its postion
	    in the queue.

I know that XCheckIfEvent() satisfies condition 1 but not 2, whereas
XPeekIfEvent() satisfies 2 but not 1.  Other than pulling every event
off the queue and XPutBackEvent() when I'm done, any suggestions?
