+Subject: [PATCH] sharedtex_mt: fix rendering thread hang
+
+XNextEvent is a blocking call which locks up the display mutex
+this causes the rendering threads to hang when they try call
+glXSwapBuffers() as that tries to take the same mutex in
+underlying calls through XCopyArea().
+So we only go to XNextEvent when it has at least one event
+and we wouldn't lock indefinitely.
