Also, some people said that during the "idle time before the timeout",
Emacs uses up 100% of CPU, so it's probably looping madly around *select
being told something arrived but failing to read it or something.
Maybe the "Timed out waiting for reply from selection owner" message
could set a global var which then causes the next call to get the
selection to let-bind another variable which causes us to spew all kind
of data about how *select was called and why it returned.
