[PATCH] pager: switch desktop on drag event

[Daniel Laidig]

Hi,

I also posted this patch to the review board: 
http://reviewboard.vidsolbach.de/r/32/

Make the pager switch desktops if you drag something on it for some time. This 
makes it possible to drag between windows on different desktops if the 
taskbar just shows windows of the current desktop. Fixes bug 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160714.

Some comments:
- I used a timer of one second, just like the pager of KDE3 did (however, the
  comment in the old code state that it's two seconds). Is there a better way
  that doesn't use hardcoded times?
- I expected Qt to send me hoverEvents in addition to dragEvents, however this
  is not the case. This is bad for two reasons: There should be a visual
  indication of the desktop you're activating and my code relies on the hover
  code to determine the hovered desktop. As a hack I created fake hoverEvents,
  but that involves using internal Qt API and is probably not a good idea.
  (Just look for the long comments in the patch.)

It would be great to have some way to receive hover events without this hack. 
Any ideas?

BTW: You could also take a look at http://reviewboard.vidsolbach.de/r/31/ 
(really trivial). :)
