Display controls if the cursor is moved in fullscreen

[Cody Garver]

When watching a video in fullscreen, moving the cursor should make the controls appear. After 3 seconds of no action/cursor-movement, hide the controls.

The linked branch implements show/hide of the controls on mouse move/3 seconds timeout. As far as I can see it works fine. The only point is that I recreate/add the timeout very often (every mouse move while controls visible) since I do not know a better way, but it does not seem to harm performance.

Let me know if it's ok, or if you prefer some changes. Otherwise you can pull it into trunk.

My only issue with this branch is that the timer does not disengage when leaving fullscreen which causes the controls to be hidden even though the window is not fullscreened. Can you fix this?

To recreate:

Play video then hit the F key to enter fullscreen > Move the mouse slightly to expose the controls and begin the timer > Hit F again to exit fullscreen (before controls autohide) > Observe that the timer continues then hides the controls when it expires

Thanks for the heads up on this issue. I know how to fix this one. But I found a similar issue with the current on_click behavior (click to show, move mouse, controls will hide while not clicked again). Do we still want to maintain this on_click functionality or is the new behaviour favoured over the click one?

It's safe to disable click to show controls. In the future, single clicking and holding the DrawingArea should make the window draggable. But that's a problem for another day.

Fixed the issue you reported and dropped on_click. Please check one more time before merging into trunk...

I have no complaints. Pim, once again you've single-handedly increased the maturity and usability of the Audience project with a great feature. Cheers for that for sure.

And "Fix committed".
