Ha. Correct. This was written for a U.S.-only application that was being
moved from an old HTML-based gui. Its implementation matched the old gui,
which was decent in terms of what could be done in 1990, but certainly not
at the usability of modern apps. I believe I added it as a contrib because
at the time there was no alternative.

AFAIK, this was never fixed in qooxdoo. It is still not possible, I think,
to add a property of the superclass. I now have a much nicer way of doing
it, though, with a mixin. Maybe _that_ should be a contrib, and I should
just remove this  time spinner in preference to the jQuery thing you're now
working on..???

Thanks for revisiting this, if only to determine that it's not useful.
