That might be useful eventually, but it can be very annoying also if the 
hover time is too small and windows popup as you are trying to do 
something else. Anyway, its a good thought and I will keep it in mind, 
but right now I just want to understand what is happening with the 
current code, especially if I have a misunderstanding on how to use it 
or if I have found a bug.

Thanks,
