Hi,

I've got some questions about the text hint interface, having completed the
implementation here locally (see attached):

* when one text hint has been completed, should the timer really start again?
if the user missed the spot, and they move the cursor again, they have to
wait the elapsed time again.  QTooltips for widgets work on a delay-once,
show as many until interrupted (mouse click, move/focus off widget, key press
etc).

* probably the biggest problem is that the interface doesn't enable the
 client to specify what text range (ie. start and end TextCursors) the
 tooltip applies to, thus how far the mouse has to go before the tooltip is
 invalid. This is especially important if we decide the above behaviour
 should not mean re-starting the timer.

So, at the moment I would  be hesitant to ship a working text hint interface
with katepart for 3.2...

Cheers,
Hamish.
