           Summary: When I set the taskbar to autohide, the taskbar appears
                    and disappears too quickly.
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.1.0
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: nicholasdewaal at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I set the taskbar to auto hide which is a nice feature.  However, because the
taskbar is a small area on the bottom of the screen, my mouse cannot move even
a tiny bit above the taskbar before it hides again forcing me to try harder to
keep my mouse low to keep the taskbar visible.

It would be nice if there were to either:

1.  A delay of maybe 0.25 seconds or so before hiding the taskbar after the
mouse pointer leaves the taskbar, or

2.  Require the mouse pointer to be a little bit higher above the taskbar
before it auto hides.


Also, the reason why I use the auto hide of the taskbar is so that I can use
the part of my screen that would usually be covered by the taskbar.  But as
soon as my mouse pointer hits the bottom of the screen, the taskbar is
activated when in fact I really wanted to use the mouse pointer for something
in my browser for example.
This could be fixed if the taskbar had a time delay of maybe 0.25 seconds or so
(not too long) before re-appearing.  (Be careful not to set it for too long
though because then people will say it is too slow to activate)
