Will do.

In the current code we can't pass just one XEvent to the big switch
over event types in xterm.c.  With the split we can.  So instead of
calling XtDispatchEvent, we use the big switch so the event is
passed through the case for that event, and then goto OTHER
passes it to Xt.  In a slightly modified way, this is what the GTK code
does.

Since all event are passed through the big switch even when dialogs/popup
menus are posted, there is no need to save them for later.

Okay.
