Iteration 1
Add two optional fields to the Timer Presets:
* Next Timer (dropdown of defined Presets) - When this timer completes, trigger "Next Timer" to start. [DONE]
* Auto Start - This would automatically start the "Next Timer" when this one completes, or restart this timer if no "Next Timer" is assigned. [DONE]
Also, add a "Start %s" button to the timer complete notification and the panel button to start the Next Timer when "Auto Start" is not selected.
Additionally, start the next timer when pressing the panel icon when "Auto Start" is not enabled. [IN PROGRESS]
Finally, add logic to the timer complete method to check the "Auto Start" and "Next Timer" fields, and:
* If AutoStart and NextTimer, then display notification and start next timer. [DONE]
* If ! AutoStart and NextTimer, then display notification with "Start Next Timer" button. [DONE]
* If AutoStart and ! NextTimer, then display notification and restart timer. [NOT IMPLEMENTED]
* If ! AutoStart and ! NextTimer, then do current behavior. [DONE]
Iteration 2
* Review and internationalize strings [NOT STARTED]
* Modify timer properties in the "Manage Presets" dialog [NOT STARTED]
