to have an action perform (aka switch to the underlying tab) by just hovering 
with the mousepointer over it, does really not sound like the best way to 
deal with accessibility imho. Anyway, it was an option in kickoff at KDE3 and 
with my last commit r749156 we took that option over to kickoff at KDE4 :)

np, switch on hover is still the default.
