Well, it looks like noone has actually managed to port a large, clunky,
old, 15 man-years worth of effort, comand-driven program to X11.

Someone did hint that the DECwindows toolkit contains a XSelectAsyncInput
call which allows the registration of an asynchronous call to be done
in response to X events.  Is there such a thing?  If so, will it only
be available from DEC, or will it become a part of a future (R4?)
distribution?
