Good work. It would be nice if it was possible to associate a "magic
number" with each timer, to make it possible for the client to determine
which timer triggered when there are several of them associated with one
window. I wouldn't bother making it pointer sized (as in void *arg) as
that brings up problems with different architectures having different
address lengths and wastes bandwidth- I'd use a 16 bit type.
