etime widget

I tried Robert's etime widget which is a great idea, however, it seems it still time-slides on all visible layers. In the widget xml file I specify each time slide layer, and all layers are defined in the main config file...
Here is an example of the widget xml:

<autotogglelayervisibility>true</autotogglelayervisibility>
<startatoldesttime>true</startatoldesttime>
<resetslideronlayerchange>true</resetslideronlayerchange>
<layers>
<layer label="Bears" name="Bears">
<dateformat>YYYY, MMMM</dateformat>
<loop>false</loop>
<singlethumbastimeinstant>true</singlethumbastimeinstant>
<thumbcount>1</thumbcount>
<thumbmovingrate>350</thumbmovingrate>
<timeextent setfromlayer="Bears"/>
</layer>
<layer label="Bobcats" name="Bobcats">
<dateformat>MMMM,DD YYYY</dateformat>
<loop>false</loop>
<singlethumbastimeinstant>true</singlethumbastimeinstant>
<thumbcount>1</thumbcount>
<thumbmovingrate>350</thumbmovingrate>
<timeextent setfromlayer="Bobcats"/>
</layer>
