ok thx now I have this:

void* window_thread(void* arg) {
XEvent event;
XSelectInput(data.dpy, data.drawable,StructureNotifyMask);
while(data.status) {
XNextEvent(data.dpy, &event);
switch(event.type) {
case ConfigureNotify:
xosd_set_vertical_offset(data.dsp,event.xconfigure.y);
xosd_set_horizontal_offset(data.dsp,event.xconfigure.x);
break;
default:
break;
}

}
}

void glXSwapBuffers(Display* dpy, GLXDrawable drawable) {
#ifdef DEBUG
//fprintf(stderr,"about to draw hud ;)\n");
#endif
if(th==1) {
pthread_t *hthread;
pthread_t *dthread;
pthread_t *wthread;
gettimeofday(&starttime,NULL);
data.status=1;
data.frames=0;
data.dpy=dpy;
data.drawable=drawable;
pthread_create(hthread,NULL,hud_thread,NULL);
pthread_create(dthread,NULL,dbus_thread,NULL);
pthread_create(dthread,NULL,window_thread,NULL);
th=0;

}
//increment frame counter
data.frames++;
pglXSwapBuffers(dpy, drawable);
}

it works fine but when I move the window the framerate (in glxgears)
goes down from ~11000 to 6000fps even when I keep the window and stop
moving it...
the hud_thread only counts the frames and prints them via xosd and the
dbus one does change some vars which it gets from dbus so that the hud
thread can display them.
