I already said I was going to make this change.

I decided to do this too. The whole "at idle" thing is a hack, and the 1 
minute delay is completely in the spirit of that hack.

I look forward to removing this entire mess when we come up with some real 
solution to this problem for the new Bonobo. I'd be willing to help 
implement too, if we can come to a consensus about the right solution for 
GNOME 2.
