Well, you could replace it with a select(NULL, NULL, NULL, &tv), where 
tv holds the polling time.  The poll time doesn't have to correspond to 
a frame, though.  Using select _might_ give better results (lower lag) 
since it will exit if there's an interrupt.  But in most cases it 
probably doesn't matter.

Looking at the internals of a function like gtk_main() may show a better 
way to do this.  Most GUI libraries have code like this already.
