Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

There should be the possibility to temporarily disable KMouseTool, e.g. when you want to hover over some link in a web browser to see the target.

To accomplish this some keyboard modifier could get used, e.g. "Ctrl+Shift" by default: when it's pressed KMouseTool does not trigger mouse clicks.

Good idea, but also a global shortcut for permanent enabling/disabling KMT is needed.
