Duncan,

Thanks--now I can fish! ;-)

Seriously, that worked well--the parameter I need to adjust is 
AutoHideDelay under [General] in ~/.kde/kickerrc.

Unfortunately, it seems to be settable only in increments of 1 second--I 
tried setting it to 0.1 and to 1/10, and neither of those worked (and, 
somehow, both of those were interpreted as a setting of 3 seconds--or 
maybe that's a default).

Now I'm googling for AutoHideDelay to find out if there is some way to 
set it in increments of less than 1 second (that is, short of modifying 
the code and recompiling).

BTW, in some early googling for AutoHideDelay, I found that IceWM's 
AutoHideDelay is settable in increments of ms.--and, iiuc, the default 
is 300 ms., so others apparently see the need for something less than 1  
and greater than 0 seconds.

Thanks again!
