Hello Andreas,

After reading all the other answers and your addtional comments.
I would really question your decision to only rely on
libX11. What value does this add these days for your customers.

If you don't get around it, i agree with Chris Moller to just
outsource the whole file selection into a seperate process and fork
into it.
