Attachment: possible patch

Something like this could be done to keep the current behavior.

I have also a WIP patch to make all the plugins to use only 2 timers - 
one for normal and one for hidden plugins. But I guess with Compositor we could
get rid of all the plugin timers.

Nit: mTimerCanceled. US spelling is shorter and (as pronunciation guide: stress moves to vowel before doubled consonant, but everyone pronounces "CANceled").

Who should review this?

I meant to write "US spelling is shorter and (...) in this case superior". Or "superiour", I won't argue that one ;-).

I'm not sure why, but it's "superior" for us too.
