Review request for Plasma and Aaron J. Seigo.


Changes
-------

Remove duplicate code.


Description
-------

This patch implements a proposal from the Netrunner project (netrunner-os.com), a KUbuntu derivative, aimed at polishing the KDE desktop, as part of my work for the project.

This feature allows the user to hide the "+" selection marker in the FolderView applet. It is absolutely symmetrical to the "Click to view folder" feature. The code is similar as well. One thing I had to change is the button hiding logic in ActionOverlay. The selection marker is positioned above the folder peek button, so it needs a QGraphicsGridLayout::removeItem() / ::addItem() instead of a QWidget::hide(), performed every time on the entered() event. As the ::removeItem() has to be called only once, I had to implement a public function that would toggle the button hiding / unhiding.

Then, to be symmetrical, I changed the folder peek button hiding code to use the same functions, with the same public interface in the ActionAoverlay class.

I hope the function addition is OK and does not violate neither incapsultion nor the KDE class design principles.

Testing
-------

Works fine.

The only problem is that following a recent Aaron's commit regarding configChanged() / configAccepeted() in the FolderView applet circa 2 weeks ago, the settings in this applet are applied only on Plasma restart and not on the fly after hitting the Appy or Ok buttons. Aaron, please, have a look into this. This happens with any settings, not onyl the ones I added. (My settings code is absolutely identical to the "Click to view folder" settigns code).


Thanks,

Ignat Semenov
