Bug#975687: xterm: loses text lines, even descenders from some lines

“rapidly enough” as criterium isn’t going to help everyone.
We have multi-GHz desktop bolides, few-MHz m68k/SPARC/POWER/… machines,
and running X11 over various network protocols (X, VNC, RDP, NX, x2go),
with varying latencies.
If the solution for this issue with XCheckWindowEvent is dependent on
such things, I’d argue that not using XCheckWindowEvent is the correct
fix instead ☺

When he found out that the m68k port was in a pretty bad shape, he did
not, like many before him, shrug and move on; instead, he took it upon
himself to start compiling things, just so he could compile his shell.
How's that for dedication. -- Wouter, about my Debian/m68k revival
