Actually, I took this as an OK to revert the change about timer
handling in popup_get_selection:

Only Xt-based Emacs (Lucid/Motif/Lesstif) handle y-or-n-p-with-timeout,
but I'm sure it can be done for the other X based versions. Mac and
W32 also doesn't timeout on y-or-n-p-with-timeout when a dialog is
used.
