Two timers? The non-idle one triggers (after an hour or so) an idle one.
That's a strange idea.
It occurred to me because Juri wanted to auto-save the desktop only every hour. Hence, I'd first wait for an hour and then until Emacs has become idle for at least five minutes.
My idea is that they both trigger saving.
Wouldn't it be sufficient to have one idle timer which triggers auto-saving only if some timeout has elapsed sine the last auto-save of the desktop?
