 I am having a problem passing a display pointer between two 
processes.  What I want to do is have one process run my 
application, and another process handle events.  I was wondering
if there is a way to do this, and if not, how might I handle 
this otherwise ? 

   Since I have to pass the display pointer, as well as
other variables, back and forth constantly, I just want
to be able to access the same address space, and not pass
a buffer back and forth after every X event. 

   Any ideas ?

   Thanks for the help,
