proper way to change a timer while running?

I have a 1 minute timer running, and at times want to change it to 1 second, and then back to 1 minute (hint! think "low power mode" in a watch-app)

When I first create the timer, it's every minute, but based on a "gesture" (screen tap in this case), I want to call for "onTimer()" every second. This code in an a conditional that only is true when things change...)

if(showSeconds) {

        timer.stop;

        timer.start( method(:onTimer), 1000, true );

    } else {

	timer.stop;

	timer.start( method(:onTimer), 1000*60, true );

    }

However, I get a "too many timers" error in the simulator on the first switch! It "kind of" works if I don't do the timer.stop() (only errors out after two switches...)

Simply put, how do I change the "time" value in a timer?

Jim - thanks to your suggestion about this last month, we already have a task on the books to include something like onGesture() in the InputDelegate. :) It looks like this falls within our 2.x.x release timeline, so this kind of feature should be available perhaps the middle of next year (just don't quote me on that).

Thanks for the info Brandon - for now, on the va I just use a screen tap to drop out of "low power mode", and then go back to low power after 20 seconds.. Having something like "onGesture" in 2.x.x would be great!
