[Papyon] Issue with switchboards

[Riccardo (C10uD)]

Thanks for the prompt answer Youness.
Now that i think of it i implemented this sort of workaround in
emesene-1 some time ago, so yes, it's a long-standing issue..
I also think papyon should take care of it since it's already handling
all the switchboard stuff. I thought of a single gobject timeout which
closes the switchboard after 60secs which is killed and recreated by
every switchboard message sent/received (iirc that's what i did in
emesene-1). I'll try to hack it quick, if you have a better idea (or
maybe lfrb has his supersecret branch with the issue already fixed :p)
just drop a line.
