Annoying autohovering

SUMMARY
The autohovering of items is makes editing the panel an annoying task sometimes, because is too easy to activate the wrong item.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
Let the user right click in the items instead. To indicate that the user can right click in some items to check its settings, KDE could display a message for that (in the editing panel).

Also, when editing, KDE could make put a semi-transparent red rectangle in the editable items to better indicate that they can be edited.

I don't think so, sorry. :) Writing messages in the UI explaining how to do things is generally a sign that the UI isn't very good. :)

hmmmm, what about implementing a little delay in the autohover function?
