Otherwise we constantly create/close event file descriptors,
every time we call g_socket_condition_timed_wait() or
g_socket_send_message(s)(), i.e. a lot. Which is not
particularly good for performance.

Can't create GCancellable in ::start() here because it's used
in client_new() which may be called via the add-client action
signal which may be called before the element is up and running.
