SUMMARY

As a user, I would like to specify a delay before the tooltip displays in
Dolphin after highlighting a file or folder.  The tooltip (otherwise defined as
"Show item on hover" in Dolphin's settings) is a useful feature, but it can be
unpleasant to work with (and I suspect a reason it is disabled by default in
Fedora) because it will display almost immediately as soon as a file or folder
is highlighted, even when the user is just moving their cursor over a
file/folder for a brief period of time while scrolling.

Therefore, I propose a configuration option in "Dolphin Settings -> Interface
-> Panels" under "Show item on hover" such as the following:

* Set tooltip display delay in ms: <user_defined_value>

The <user_defined_value> may be set by a user to a reasonable value between 0ms
(lower bound) and 60000ms (upper bound).  I would also suggest a default value
of 2000ms though this is by no means required.  Lastly, the upper bound of
60000ms is only a suggestion; this may be set as the implementer sees fit.
