Another point is that, bitmaps may need to hold a set of different
representations for each display. For example, if they try to
accelerate blitting by matching colour depth/format or by generating a
texture. This could get very messy.

For *Xlib* at least.  There is a hack -- you can reach in and get the
underlying sockets and do select() on those, as mentioned on message 5
here (I couldn't find a better reference quickly):

Maybe other libraries (Xt? XCB?) could do it.
