sentence of mine. In my environment, the tooltip redrawing with
different width without certain delay accompanies something
unpleasant. On the other hand if you have a high-end machine,
you'll have to see something when you moved mouse pointer
repeatedly between up and down in the Gnet/Search pane has plenty
of row.

But since you added delay it has been getting fine :-), at the
same time I want to know how works it on other users environment
while don't know bottom line spec of GTK2...

I don't think that's a must, well if these strings will be replaced
by another informative one, then it's ok. I have no practical reason
to leave them.

I use LimeWire occasionally (2-3 times in the year), if my memory
is correct LimeWire doesn't have specific meta data search i.e.
it's included default search then returned with filename etc.,
appearing as rating (number of star icons).

It's off topic though, I search multiple files for this meta data
at once with Ctrl+left-mouse-button. I hope that doesn't cause
critical query flood against the Bitzi.com.

It seems there must be someone in the past as well... I think gtkg
should keep a step in its boundary too, or rather I'd targeted a
kind of run-time sanity check between SHA1 and XML/Bitzi in the
tooltips, but it doesn't the matter.

Thanks.
