Does anyone know if the new version of pygame provides any change in the
event model?

On the XO low power consumption is important.  Applications should call
select(2) rather than use timers to poll for events.  pygame based
applications that have only one input source; the pygame event queue,
can block for events and this uses select(2).

But applications with more than one input source, such as a network
connection, had been unable to add this input source to the select(2).

We have (or had) code in some applications that obtains the X socket
file descriptor by digging into the pygame and SDL layer.
