Makes sense. And it complements what `dframe-frame-mode' does with
`kill-buffer-hook' to perform teardown for `speedbar-frame-mode'. It
also seems likely (to me) that confining `dframe-set-timer' to
`speedbar-buffer' proves similarly important because `speedbar-timer-fn'
can otherwise run in any buffer when the thing fires.
