Actually, the canvas should get updated whether the XForms event loop
is called or not. Unless your code is somehow depending upon the
Expose event to update the display, it shouldn't matter.
I'd suggest making sure that you have the correct GLXContext and check
for OpenGL errors.
I've written code with does this sort of animation in the past and not
had any difficulty.
I don't think it's an XForms problem.
