Well, I applaud your attempt to challenge this rather difficult task,
and sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

I took a closer look at this issue, and while I don't yet have a
complete picture of how this can be fixed, I can at least see that the
problem is not with the spell check timer, but the idle timer.  The
spell check timer itself actually turns itself off rather nicely after
it does what it needs.  The idle timer, OTOH, keeps on running pretty
much forever.  I guess my previous comment about the spell check timer
may have given you the wrong impression.  Sorry about that.

So, let's not change the spell check timer since it doesn't look broken,
and let's focus on fixing the idle timer itself.

Thanks!

Kohei
