Gmail Smart-Delete Button Ver. 0.3.6 Released!

While researching reports of Gmail Locking accounts I noticed one cause seemed to be a timing issue with Gmail's auto-refreshing behavior.

Apparently, Gmail does not play nice with timers in scripts, and so, after much experimentation, I have managed to do away with GSDB's main timer. I had been relying on it to recreate the button instance and enable/disable it when a checkbox was clicked. I needed this as Gmail's own client-side javascript code performs certain actions without generating any events! This meant I needed to revalidate at regular intervals.

Version 0.3.6 now manages to circumvent the need for a timer while still responding quickly to user actions. This should finally spell an end to the dreaded Lockdown in Sector 4!
