It is very smart. But it is not backward-compatible(maybe).

XNextEvent() difiniton is
|  int XNextEvent(Display *display, XEvent *event_return);
and, typicial classical loop is below.
(it from IIIMF/iiimxcf/htt_xbe/src/watchdog.c);
|    for (;;) {
|      XNextEvent(display, &ev);
|      switch (ev.type) {

In old days, XNextEvent *must* return valid(significant) XEvent value,
if we add "if (!XPending()) return;",
I think that it cause unpredictable side-effects, isn't it?
