The present patch does the same for the sleep timer, but it's becoming clear that in doing so it hampers an important use case: selecting a new duration each time the sleep timer is started.

I like your proposal very much. I think it's the best compromise we can achieve in the short run: It provides both a default (at the expense of one more click than in the present patch) and the option to select a new value each time.

I'd just like to point out that I never agreed that the function to start the sleep timer belongs under Settings. Quite to the contrary: I always said that I believe only settings belong into that menu, but not functions. sideral
