Hi David,

I get this:

timer-list is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is
([nil 19819 40376 0 60 display-time-event-handler nil nil]
 [nil 19819 40376 0 60 appt-check nil nil]
 [nil 19819 40382 402000 60 org-resolve-clocks-if-idle nil nil]
 [nil 19819 40382 402000 60 org-clock-update-mode-line nil nil])

So this looks like there is only one timer for resolving the org clock.
Hm.

Regards,
Rainer
