The following happens in version 10.  Two or more different processes
call XSelectInput to show that they want to receive the same event.
There aren't any pending events of this type so each process blocks
when they call XNextEvent.  When the event is finally available one
of the processes receives it.  The other(s) continues to block.
Since each process is unaware that any other process wants the event
it doesn't know when to call XPeekEvent instead of XNextEvent.

Will version 11 allow more than one process to get the same event?
