Kill the countdown clock dead

[Corey Burger]

There is no need for a countdown clock that is visible. If the user is typing, it should stay. If they are not, it can hang around for the 60secs and then disappear.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

The countdown clock increments by 3 seconds each time the user types a keystroke. This prevents timeout, but the interface is important for those who need the extra time to enter their credentials. This bug will not be fixed.

No, I don't think you understand. I want to kill the UI of the countdown clock. It already hangs around if the person is typing. If they are not, the dialog should simply go away after 60 secs. It doesn't need to tell that it is going away.

Fixed with 0.0.15.
