We encourage people to use threads for this kind of stuff.
We think we've made it pretty easy to do :-).  I also don't
see why xcb_poll_for_event() doesn't solve your problem?

That said, I don't have any real problem with making
xcb_handle_event() part of the API for the event library, so
I went ahead and committed a change that does this.  Enjoy
or back out.
