Hi Paul & Oliver,

I think I picked 20s to match XBMC, but I also tried 10s and that was
very usable. I quite like the idea of 10s back, 30s forward, but would
rather try it before agreeing with it. I'll have a play with this next time
I get a chance - I may even work up a patch to read this from the
configuration file if no one else beats me to it.
