+/* `xg_select' is a `pselect' replacement.  Why do we need a separate function?
+   1. Timeouts.  Glib and Gtk rely on timer events.  If we did pselect
+      with a greater timeout then the one scheduled by Glib, we would
+      not allow Glib to process its timer events.  We want Glib to
+      work smoothly, so we need to reduce our timeout to match Glib.
+   2. Descriptors.  Glib may listen to more file descriptors than we do.
+      So we add Glib descriptors to our pselect pool, but we don't change
+      the value returned by the function.  The return value  matches only
+      the descriptors passed as arguments, making it compatible with
+      plain pselect.  */
