Description
The XtAppGetSelectionTimeout function returns the current selection
timeout value, in milliseconds. The selection timeout is the time within
which the two communicating applications must respond to one another.
The initial timeout value is set by the selectionTimeout application
resource, or, if selectionTimeout is not specified, it defaults to five
seconds.
The XtAppSetSelectionTimeout function sets the Intrinsics's selection
timeout mechanism. Note that most applications should not set the selec-
tion timeout.
