I've written a function xd_pending_messages, which uses internally
dbus_connection_get_dispatch_status. By this I could avoid select() on
the file descriptor. D-Bus messages are now received without keyboard
input, also when Emacs runs in terminal mode. However, there is a delay
of some seconds.

xd_pending_messages is called in readable_events, which means that it is
checked inside wait_reading_process_output. Is there a possibility to
trigger a more frequent check via detect_input_pending?

Best regards, Michael.
