# Replacements for getevent() and pollevent(),
# and new functions ungetevent() and sync().


# Every library module should ideally use this instead of
# stdwin.{get,poll}event(), so applications can use the services
# of ungetevent() and sync().

# Synchronize the display.  It turns out that this is the way to
# force STDWIN to call XSync(), which some (esoteric) applications need.
# (This is stronger than just flushing -- it actually waits for a
# positive response from the X server on the last command issued.)
