fl_redraw_object() causes the drawing to happen. You will also
probably need to flush the output to the server with XFlush(). See
the respective manuals for details.

However, you might want to consider using asynchronous I/O and an I/O
callback instead. This will obviate the need for hacks such as the
one I suggested.
