Comment (by Eben):
I think a longer timeout would be perfectly acceptable, as I too think
that spatial relationships to the elements in the frame could be very
strong. I don't think that this is in any way incompatible with Ivan's
comment regarding placing the scrollbars on the edges of the screen; the
spec for the frame just hasn't been matched yet.
The frame should be activated only when:
* The cursor is on the edge-most pixel of the display
[[BR]]* The cursor is moving sufficiently slowly
[[BR]]* The cursor is not actively engaged with anything on screen
The third point is important, since it means that anytime someone clicks a
button, or drags a scrollbar, etc, the delay on the frame should be reset.
Thus, while you're dragging the scrollbar, the frame should never appear.
And, since the scrollbar sits on the edge-most pixel anyway, it is easy to
hit, and therefore easy to grab well within the delay time for frame
activation.
