Fast addition of one-time timers

[joh]

Hi,

I often want to set up a one-time timer. For example, "please remind me to make a phone call in 5 minutes". Currently, this scenario requires too many steps:

1. Open the Alarms window
2. click the "new alarm" button
3. select "Timer"
4. enter the time
5. validate
6. start the timer ... when the timer has finished
7. delete the now useless timer

Thank you

(by llucax) Yeah, a new entry in the context menu for the panel icon to add a new timer/alarm would be very much appreciated!
