Reduce no. of wakeups to save power

Use g_timeout_add_seconds instead of g_timeout_add where possible.

Thanks for the patch. But looking at the comments on the page you cite, I see the following:

   In particular the candidates for being replaced are
   timeouts called in a recurrent manner (eg polling) and
   that do not need an accurate timeout. Timeouts that are
   fired just once or that result in something visible to
   the user should usually not be changed.

Orca's timeout is not called in a recurrent manner. It is fired just once. It does result in something "visible" to the user (namely the presentation of a message). And the timeout should be accurate. So I think in Orca's case this change is not wanted.

As for power saving, the only time that timeout will get called is if:
1. The user is binding or rebinding an Orca command, and
2. The user selected a keybinding that is already bound to another command.
