Philipp Matthias Hahn's recommendation[1] looked sound to me.
Going by Andrew Suffield's comments, anything else would involve major
surgery to Xlib -- probably implementing a new function for thread
initialization -- and that is well beyond my ken. I'd want to consult with
gurus like Keith Packard first.
Keith is subscribed to this list, so maybe uttering his name will summon
him to this thread.
