<p>See <a href="Error-Handling.html#Error-Handling">Error Handling</a>.
</p>
</dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-flush-on-Display"></a>Method on Display: <strong>flush</strong> <em>( )</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>Flush the request queue, building and sending the queued requests. This
can be necessary in applications that never wait for events, and in
threaded applications.
</p>
</dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-sync-on-Display"></a>Method on Display: <strong>sync</strong> <em>( )</em></dt>
<dd>

until the next event is fetched from the server.
</p>
</dd></dl>

be created by instantiating the appropriate class directly, since any X
extensions dynamically added by the library will not be available.
