Huh.  I liked the idea of a menu of options there.  I could do
without the beastie image, and thus maybe have a much shorter menu.
And I think the timer would work better at the top, so that the
*first* thing you read is how to pause the timer.  But I liked the
idea of the menu there, with a few common options.  I even listed
that as "one of the nice things added to 5.3" (compared to 4.x-
series) at some recent presentations...
