Well, there are several ways; first, you can poll the queue and socket,
sleeping with sginap() in between polls (to cut CPU usage), or second,
you could get the FD for the window and have it send a SIGIO when something
comes in.  I don't remember off hand if the same thing is available with
sockets or not...
