Well, the desktop.el integration now works flawlessly, but the two old
problems that were handled by those timers are now back again.

  1. When opening a doc that already has cached images, you'll only see
     the raw contents but no image.  In order to make the image appear,
     you have to do something like switch pages or scroll.

  2. When splitting a doc-view window, the new window only shows the raw
     contents.  In order to make the image appear, you need to select
     the new window once.

Bye,
