So may be you attack this one at first, independent of the synchronous buffer 
swap problem?

I think the round trip on buffer swap is a problem. And I am not exactly sure 
if the XDC solution is the best solution we can get there, but to me the XDC 
discussed solution feels much more like attacking the real source of the 
problem than introducing a new thread for the buffer swap possibly requiring a 
different X connection like one of your sketches contained. Inventing a thread 
seems like papering over the real problem.
Just my two cent ...
