Oops - this was intended to be a conceptual description of the whole
"SWT main loop" including both sleep() and readAndDispatch(). sleep() 
would just be something like:

 if (g_main_pending())
   return true;
 else
   {
     /* first poll on X file descriptor */

     return g_main_pending ();
   }

while readAndDispatch() would do the "while (g_main_iteration (FALSE))" part.
