    I'm not sure an idle timer is good for this feature.  I want to auto-save
    the desktop at quite long time intervals (an hour or so), but usually
    Emacs is not idle for this time.  So it seems we need a non-idle timer.

I think we need an idle timer and a clock timer both,
just as we have for auto-save.
