Bug Description

The timeout is still too fast for my clumsy fingers on a touchpad. I think I need 2-3 seconds. I'd like to set the timeout globally, and I'd like to be able to have buttons displayed all the time if I so choose.
Also I'd like to see the buttons have a click effect, so I can see if my click is picked up, or if there's something wrong.

Instead of adding an option for the fade-time, I'd like to just give the timeout a saner settings by default. We'll still add a "always show buttons option" to disable the fading altogether.

I can confirm this. When I try to click the buttons they fade out before I can click them.

I'm pretty happy with way the timeout works as of revision 512.

@Compizuser01, Ketil:
Please test and let me know what you think.

At present I can't even move the screenlets and no buttons appear (revision 518). But when they did appear in the last version I still could not click on the buttons. Nothing happened.

@Compizuser:
Can you paste the output of running the following command and then adding screenlets:
melange --replace -oSTDOUT -l5

Note: The above command will also close all currently running screenlets.

I use rev. 526 now. Still no buttons on the screenlets. Still much trouble to get them to auto start: they keep on disappearing in the autostart tab of the Manager if i start one manually.

Commandline output:
[code]
$ melange --replace -oSTDOUT -l5
