thanks, I did this now [1]. The only downside is that the unit test,
which checks that the search is cancelled when nothing happens during
the timeout, now takes more than 5 seconds to complete, which is a
waste of time IMHO - I run the tests quite often, and I hope that I'm
not the only one :-)

There are two ways out of this:

a) Remove that part of the test.
b) Add some API to set KItemListKeyboardSearchManager's timeout to a
custom value (initialised to 5000 ms in the constructor), which the
unit test would then make quite small.

In spite of the added complexity, b) seems better from a testing point
of view, and it would also make it clear that a timeout exists when
looking at the header file only. Any objections?

Cheers,
Frank
