I'll try to come up with a solution for this over the weekend (well, time
permitting).

The basic idea I'm having is to extend the timer's "day" parameter so
that for a periodic timer one can define the first date on which that
timer shall record, as in

1:2:-----S-@2002-02-16:2205:2335:50:5:Wochenshow:

The "magic" is in the "@2002-02-16" following the usual "-----S-",
which could be read as "start at 2002-02-16.

A function to temporarily disable a timer could then simply add the "@..."
part with a date for the next day. The "Edit Timer " menu will be extended
accordingly to allow defining this parameter.
