Ok, I gave it a try and found out that GTK timer still runs
in paused mode. Only the operation invoked at the earth-beating
time is a no-op (see Gui::advanceMovie).

Could be improved by uing the stopHook/startHook calls.

Still, that timer has a 10ms delay, so should result at most
in 100 wakeups per second. Could still be improved by setting
next callback only when really needed, asking for it to the
movie_root (not implemented yet for SWF timers, implemented
for timeline advance requirements).
