setTimeout() has problems if you set or clear them often. Having more than
one running means trouble.

setInterval() works too but since usually you start it and leave it running
the problems don't show up. Don't forget you should clear it with
clearInterval() and also set some semaphores so that you don't enter
recursively if doing something lengthy.

BTW, even setTimeout gets reentered if, say, you display an alert() - this
shouldn't happen as it's supposed to be one-shot... BUG!

The Javascript implementation in Konq/E is that found in KDE-2.2.2 which is
quite buggy and some more bugs were indirectly added in the embedded version
:-/
