50 // 2. the locking shemantic inside new lock_window and here will be really tricky, we should:
51 //      in lock_window check wheather BC_WindowEvents is in XNextEvent and it is send custom xevent to break out of the loop and make sure lock is not taken again if lock_window() is waiting on it
52 // 3. Send custom events from previous point through _separate_ xwindows display connection since XSendEvent would need to be protected by XLockDisplay which obviously can't be
