Ummm, that's quite interresting, I hadn't understood in the first time
as I hadn't yet experience with select. Looks like a possibility for
Linux until a GetMilisecondsCount is implemented.

Not for LCL-CustomDrawn-X11, I think what is being achieved is already
a good base, it only needs to be improved. Threads will probably bring
more problems then solve.
