It would help if you tell us which os you are using.
In general, the proc directory is a make-believe file system.
First that means that it is a seperate file system. If / and /usr are filesystems and / is tight on space, freeing up space in /usr does not help /. Ditto which /proc and /.
But /usr is at least a real filesystem. If you free up space in /usr, well then you have some space in /usr where you could put some files. That is not true of /proc. /proc is not real disk space and you cannot put files there.
/proc is a representation of the processes that are running. Yes, you can tune a kernel and limit the number of proceeses that can run. That will make /proc smaller.
Before you do that, look at /proc immediately after a boot. It will be much smaller. But you won't have any more disk space.

xtseteventdispatcher
XtSetEventDispatcher(3X) XT FUNCTIONS XtSetEventDispatcher(3X)
NAME
XtSetEventDispatcher - extension event handling
SYNTAX
XtEventDispatchProc XtSetEventDispatcher(display, event_type, proc)
Display *display;
int event_type;
XtEventDispatchProc proc;
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the display.
event_type
Specifies the event type.
proc Specifies the proc.
DESCRIPTION
The XtSetEventDispatcher function registers the event dispatcher procedure specified by proc for events with the type event_type. The pre-
viously registered dispatcher (or the default dispatcher if there was no previously registered dispatcher) is returned. If proc is NULL,
the default procedure is restored for the specified type.
In the future, when XtDispatchEvent is called with an event of event_type, the specified proc (or the default dispatcher) will be invoked
to determine a widget to which to dispatch the event.
