Review request for Plasma, usability, Fredrik Höglund, and Celeste Lyn Paul.


Changes
-------

This updated patch makes the type and select behaviour similar to that of Dolphin. I've tested it on all the combinations I could think of. Hope this can go in before 4.5 freeze.


Summary
-------

This patch intends to provide a simple selection method to select icons. Its intended to be able to select a file plasma-desktop.desktop by just typing initial characters, "plas" for example.
Comments on the hard-coded 2000ms welcome. If the user doesn't press any key within 2000ms after the last key press, the match string clears.


This addresses bug 187241.
