Hmmm.  I added a BUNCH of calls to ask X11 to process events
(HandlePendingEvents).  I wonder, if there aren't any events to
process, if X11 waits until there are?  I could add in a call to see
if there are events to process...  I'll have to look at that.

Actually, main.c:HandlePendingEvents() does a loop while
XtAppPending(app), so I guess we already check that.

Perhaps some of the X11 libraries have bugs in XtAppPending()?
