Well, -t with a number larger than 12 is not useful. Xlib itself will
timeout after 12 seconds if it can't contact the xserver.  The -t option
for checkx (and run2) simply says how long checkx will wait for the
worker thread that's actually trying to contact the Xserver, before
giving up and detaching the thread.
