Yup. Done.

Me too :). Done

Me too. (yeah, I'm good at repeatedly typing same words :))

I can't fully explain why, but I just have no motivation in
implementing this now :).
And I don't feel like it is needed also. Well. If someone *really*
wants this, he can do it.
But personally I think that it is good just to click :). Simple and cute :)

Have you seen how it is done in amarok?
They have a litle vertical blue indicator - it indicates how much time
left before widget will
disappear. It is nice, but currently I don't want to implement this.
It just feels too much for such a small items. Well, perhaps in
future...

Yes. That might solve the issue.

Btw it is interesting if at least someone on kde-usability have *read*
our call for help. No answers so far... :)

Cheers,
