Abstract
A method for handling events in an X Window System environment is disclosed. First and second events are detected in first and second server processes, respectively. First event data corresponding to the first event is stored in a first event cache associated with the first server process. Second event data corresponding to the second event is stored in a second event cache associated with the second server process. The first and second server processes are polled to determine whether they have detected any events. If it is determined that both the first and second server processes have detected events, the first and second event data is requeted from the first and second server processes. The first and second event data is coalesced into coalesced event data. The coalesced event data is delivered to a client process.
