Re: [AD] X11 unresponsiveness

I think I figured out the best solution for this problem. We seem to be 
hacking the input signal handler, trying to make it do something it's 
not really designed to handle.. but we seem to have been overlooking 
some Allegro functions: keyboard_needs_poll/poll_keyboard (and it's 
mouse and joystick kin).

Here's what I propose.. since we seem to have a semi-working patch for 
the signal based handler (Elias says the last patch I posted works 
good), but not the best, we could use the signal-based aproach by 
default. The only reason for that is that some people didn't really take 
the warning seriously that some systems would require polling. However, 
the *_needs_poll functions would return TRUE regardless, and when the 
poll_* functions are called, that device is no longer auto-polled in the 
handler.

What do you think?
