I've tested a blocking X event thread, with XNextEvent(), running in the
background, sharing the Display object with the primary thread: the problem
you're pointing out exists, namely drawing operations performed by the
primary thread may be blocked when the background thread blocks on
XNextEvent(). Moving the mouse or pressing a key let them complete.
