Those event threads we stacked so high (which are kde minions btw),
don't generally accrue _any_ wakee_flips, so when X wakes a slew of the
things, wake_wide()'s heuristic rejects the lot.

So yeah, the blame game for this issue is a target rich environment.
Shoot either of 'em (or both), and you'll hit the bad guy.
