Further testing with nano-X shows that there are still Fiwix problems with timeouts in select or also possibly when reading from file descriptors in raw mode. This was temporarily worked around by passing a zero timeout (i.e. polling) in nano-X's select. As you will see in the video below, the mouse needs to moved (that is, events need to be generated) before Nano-X starts running properly, and the window backgrounds aren't repainted quickly because of improper select/time/event handling.
With multiple clients running, there are also some kernel problems with different process socket data to/from the nano-X server getting mixed up, with nano-X reporting the trouble and exiting. All that will have to be worked on later.
Some printks are left in the unix_select code, to continue debugging UNIX socket activity.
Here's nano-X running with nxeyes (special for @mikaku), and a couple other clients:

This fix allows UNIX sockets to work with
select, and thus nano-X to run in client/server mode. Discussed in https://github.com/mikaku/Fiwix/pull/79#issuecomment-1966848770.Further testing with nano-X shows that there are still Fiwix problems with timeouts in
