location of popup helpers question

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I have one rather exasperating function I wish I could either turn off, or 
relocate.

It's in kmail, the little "helpful" (not) gizmo that pops up if you leave the 
mouse sitting on an icon.  It is useful for some things, but I have kmail 
setup with the message list pane left of the message pane, which puts the 
messages panes subject line not too far below the icons along the top of the 
main window.

And when it pops up, it takes about a minute for it to go way, during which 
time the messages subject line is hidden.  Having to move the mouse to a 
clear place when I want to switch to the + key, and back again tends to 
aggravate my arthritis.

Can this be relocated to a point above the icon, or can the display timeout 
be set down to maybe 2 seconds?  If so, what file do I edit to accomplish 
this?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene
