Thanks for the tip, but my reading of select/IO::Select is that they
always block, whereas the nice thing about Glib::IO->add_watch() is
that it sets up a callback.

To use a blocking watch in a GUI, I would have to put it in a thread,
and presumably the only way of then killing the blocking watch would
be to kill the thread.

Is no one using Glib::IO->add_watch() on a Mac?
