    I just did M-: (sleep-for 10) RET and observed that the mouse pointer
    changed to something which looks like a watch.  Does this mean it
    works for me using this Debian woody GNU/Linux system?

Apparently it does.  The hourglass appears after a one-second timeout
implemented by an atimer.  If it appears, timers must be working for
you.

How strange.  Does anyone else experience the same failure I
experience?
