the pointer is discarded when saved into the cache (the key has the same old 
format) so it should work as before between sessions, what doesn't work i 
think in the patch is that findInCache now doesn't remove the pointer from the 
id, so it always fail, but making it actually remove and discard the pointer 
it should work fine

should work, what it could happen is a double save, but an extra control could 
be added

i know this soolution is a trrible hack (now a format in the id string is 
required, where before it could be anything), should work, but if someone has 
better solutions i am all for it.
now the question is: better this approach or moving the timers in svg and 
framesvg again?
