Silent mode timeout

[Crane, Matthew]

Maybe to implement these ideas in general:

- take idea of shortcut in general as some functional aspect of the
phone
- define these with time or position data to make a cue, to allow timed
and/or position based trigger of the shortcuts

If the phone's shortcuts could be triggered via a straightforward sdk
call then these features could be implemented on top of system service
daemons like crond.  Maybe there is a similar daemon to crond that
resonds to the GPS coordinates already for linux?  If not, not hard to
make with easy coordinate info access.  These could execute a
command-line binary which calls the SDK to trigger a shortcut, with a
number as an argument to identify the shortcut id.  Of course, I don't
know if the SDK would even cover something like shortcuts. 

Shortcuts could be things like dialing a number, changing to a mode
(loud/silent/forwarding/no call waiting), changing to a service
provider, etc.

I was thinking the same thing for 'The baby room', etc.  However, we
might want to be a little careful with the manager that switches
profiles.  e.g. In 'airplane' mode, it shouldn't switch to 'silent with
radio on' when your flight path goes near your home:)  I suppose that
the gps shouldn't be on either in airplane mode, but I hope it
illustrates the point. In summary, I think that the profile manager
should be able to have sticky profiles or the ability to veto requests
by the gps auto-profile switcher/deamon to change profiles.
