I want to have an animation running at the same time as I wait for X events.
Is there a more efficient way to do this besides having a loop waiting for
X events and watching the time?  Is there some way to ask X to tell me if
there is an event or when, say, 30 msec have gone by?  (Waiting at 1 
second intervals is too much.)  Is there a way to ask X for the current 
timestamp value (in the X server's clock) if there are no events pending?

Thanks,
Brad Myers
