New TIMER keyword in widget_control [message #1061]

IDL 3.1:

Has someone already used the new TIMER keyword in widget_control?

The old xmanager background task syntax BACKGROUND='<background proc>'
is still working but produces the message

"XMANAGER: The BACKGROUND keyword to theXMANAGER procedure is obsolete. It is
superceeded by the TIMER keyword to the WIDGET_CONTROL procedure."

I couldn't find enough documentation in the IDL Distribution 3.1 for how to
change code to use this new enhanced feature for background operations.
The background task example in $IDL_DIR/lib/xdemo/examples, wback.pro
uses still the old xmanager syntax.

Thanks for hints!
