* Name: nxtk_synch
*
* Description:
* This interface can be used to syncrhonize the window client with the
* NX server. It really just implements an 'echo': A synch message is
* sent from the window client to the server which then responds
* immediately by sending the NXEVENT_SYNCHED back to the windows client.
*
* Due to the highly asynchronous nature of client-server communications,
* nxtk_synch() is sometimes necessary to assure that the client and server
* are fully synchronized in time.
*
* Usage by the window client might be something like this:
*
* extern bool g_synched;
* extern sem_t g_synch_sem;
*
* g_synched = false;
* ret = nxtk_synch(hwnd, handle);
* if (ret < 0)
* {
* -- Handle the error --
* }
*
* while (!g_synched)
* {
* ret = sem_wait(&g_sync_sem);
* if (ret < 0)
* {
* -- Handle the error --
* }
* }
*
* When the windwo listener thread receives the NXEVENT_SYNCHED event, it
* would set g_synched to true and post g_synch_sem, waking up the above
* loop.
*
* Input Parameters:
* hfwnd - The window to be synched
* arg - An argument that will accompany the block messages (This is arg2
* in the event callback).
*
* Returned Value:
* OK on success; ERROR on failure with errno set appropriately
*
