Ok, this is weird. I have no idea why, but, ontimeout seems to have
stopped working for me. I like the new layout with the countdown
timer on the bottom, but, when I see the timer go down to 0, the menu
just reloads. I've checked and as nearly as I can tell there are no
error in the configuration, including the label in the ontimeout
command being typed correctly. Just in case though, I'll post the
configuration so maybe someone can see if I made a mistake somewhere.
I really don't think I did, and I had no troubles with the last
version I was using, which I think was just the previous one right
before this one (one somewhere around 3.10-pres to be honest.) I like
the new layout though, it's just, well, more comfortable is the best I
could describe since it no longer takes up the full screen and all
that stuff, plus the visible timer is a nice bonus.

DEFAULT menu.c32
ONTIMEOUT windows
