It's moot now but I want to point out that multiple timers isn't
exactly the source of the issue. stumpwm figures out when the next
timeout is due and uses clx's event timeout to schedule a wake up at
that time. It then does what needs to be done (clear the message bar,
update modeline, etc) and then figures out when the next timeout is
due. and so on. I felt labeling this as "multiple timers" was
misleading.
