There are some settings available in GConf that can affect this, but it would be nice if there was a section in the preferences panel to control them. And of course it would be great if this section had proper help text that explained how they worked. > * Have the timers suspend when inactive like they do now, but not > reset. Your idea is that the timers would only reset after counting down all the way and _then_ going through the reset time? That is interesting. I think that could be useful. -- Joe > * Have a separate option in the prefs for resetting. This could be a > binary switch or a configurable time.
