I would really, really love to see two more things added to the form
properties:

1. Timer period (a number in seconds for the timer to go off)

2. On Timer EEP (code that executes when the timer goes off).

The reason is that with all the cool doodads in RBase 7.X I'm increasingly
taking advantage of extra real estate on menu forms to create little
"dashboard" type applications that graphically display various pieces of
information about the underlying data in the application.  I have some pretty
cool displays.  I'd like them to update themselves every thirty seconds or so,
but right now I have to include an "Update Display" link on each page.
