I have a program that uses a Sun window, with selection service and a
simple window (ie. no panels). How can you set up the interval timer
(notify_set_itimer_func()) from within an event handler and receive
notification of the timer expiration without having exitted from the event
handler? The timer signal seems to go off without exiting back to the
window_main_loop(). When the timer is examined after the itimer call it
does seem to decrement but I never receive the timer signal.
