    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.

If it fails on any platform, that is a bug and ought to be fixed
(unless we decide to desupport the facility instead).
