Bug Description
At nearly 40 wakeups per second *while idle*, Exaile is a top hit in powertop (ha!). We need to check what's causing this and whether it can be improved.

Apparently this was caused by threading.Timer, used by event.timeout_add. I didn't see any way to change its wakeup time, so I wrote a custom timer that only wakes up every 5 seconds by default.
Now exaile causes around 0.2 wakeups per second, as expected. :-)
