Alarm timeout = 0 for me still is an 'invalid' setting because its
meaning is ambigious - so I wouldn't put ANY trust in it to keeps its
behaviour between software versions.

It could mean:
- stop the alarm after 0 minutes (i.e. instantly = pretty useless, but
correct interpretation)
- don't stop the alarm after all (i.e. disable the timeout feature)
- overload it with a different meaning (i.e. don't timeout and do
another 'visualization', like no alarm popup).

So the only (proper) solution is to start an enhancement request to
remove timeout=0 and create a new unambigious option.
