   I'm writing a program using X Windows that also needs to read input

   while that happens, the program has to check for events (expose,
   button press, etc.)


Get the file descriptor Xlib is using with ConnectionNumber, and then
do a select on that and your pipe.  If you are using Xt, then you
should use XtAppAddInput().
