XLIB is an absolute train wreck when it comes to threading, call 
XPollEvent outside your draw thread will most likely segfault.

As well I need control of the opengl contexts, as I want to 
separate drawing and loading into separate threads.

I need both good threading support, and control over my opengl 
contexts to fulfill the goals I have set for myself.

That said, it is a nice looking library. But it would not fulfill 
my needs.
