I just upgraded from Slackware 14.0 to current and I've got a newer version of KDE (4.10.5) and this widget works differently. I've got APOD which is a nasa app that runs the daily picture and an explanation.
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
The explanation pops up in a box when I hover over one of the buttons on the bottom of the app. But for some reason it only stays visible a few seconds. It used to stay visible indefinitely, so that I could actually read the whole explanation. I looked in the configuration and couldn't find anything.
If anyone has run across this, and/or has any idea what's wrong and how I can fix it, I'd appreciate the help.
