Probably nothing wrong, but missing knowledge on my side. Eg I didn't
know that it is possible to get the descriptor of a X connection to poll
at, how can I do that ?

So I think I should be able to add a callback to my eventloop that calls
something like 'while (gtk_events_pending()) gtk_processEvents()'. I'll
figure out how to do this.

Thanks
