should display the launcher tooltips after a delay

[Sebastien Bacher]

While the tooltips are useful to figure what the icons are they also cause some visual clutter to the screen. It's likely that users don't need that information when switching between the softwares they usually run, doing a quick mouseover and click on the launcher to switch to another running software should not trigger any tooltip display

adding a design task.

If I remember correctly, the maverick behavior is:
- show the tooltip immediately
- if you want 2s without moving the mouse, show the quicklist.

But your remark is still valid IMHO, this tooltip is now useful once the user knows what application are in the launchers and shouldn't blink particularly on mouseover when moving over them to point to the right one.

[Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl)]

The quicklist should only show on right-click.

The tooltip can be deferred 1s after initial entry to the launcher, but
once it's being shown for one icon, should show on others immediately as
you move vertically from one to the other.

Hey Jamal, are you working on this bug?

[Jamal Fanaian (jamalta)]

Sorry, I forgot that I had assigned this bug to me. I have not had time to work on this meeting so I will remove myself from it. Again, I'm really sorry about that. Thanks for contacting me about this.

[Reuben Swartz (rbn-swartz)]

I'm still on this bug but having to deal with other natty bugs that prevent me from compiling.

@Reuben Swarts, are you working on this bug?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

I still believe this change causes slowness in the work flow and gives
an overall the impression of a non-responsive launcher.

[LostOverThere (lostoverthere)]

I must agree with om26er. The change gives the impression of a very sluggish and unreliable system.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

After using it for over a cycle now I have become used to the tooltip_delay behavior but now in Precise that have regressed and I believe needs to be fixed again. bug 929485
