Well, that didn't seem much easier, as that opens the question where
to create/destroy. And we would potentially have a "running" timer at
creation time, which could be confusing.

(btw, just found that doc : "This function is useless; it's fine to
call g_timer_start() on an already-started timer to reset the start
time, so g_timer_reset() serves no purpose" ;)

thanks
