Review request for Plasma.


Changes
-------

Submitted with commit 64b951fab3fc0dbbb1eedd9e35eb59ddbaa6da1f by Takahiro Hashimoto to branch master.


Repository: plasma-framework


Description
-------

Now PlasmaCore.ToolTipArea can control status of active/inactive.

When a ToolTip dialog is visible and making mouse move to another inactive ToolTipArea, it remains unnaturally for a while.


I attached a urgy test program to reproduce this behavior. The instruction to reproduce is:

1.run  qmlscene tooltip_hide.qml
2. make mouse cursor on the cell named "name1" (or any odd numbered one)
3. move the cursor to a even numberd cell like "name2"

It results the "tip1" tooltip remains for a long time (current spec is 4000ms)

I think it would be better when a mouse entered into an inatcive ToolTipArea, the global tooltip dialog is dismissed soon. This patch is the implementation of this behavior.

I cannot check all side-effect to change this behavior. Many guys adivce are welcomed:)

Here's my reference use case: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/125402/
