I finally got around to not breaking the autohiding originally in Pypanel.
This version of the mouse-aware autohiding will hide CLOCK_DELAY seconds after
the mouse leaves the panel.
I'll be honest, a 3-second delay really _is_ much nicer than immediately. :)
This patch was already submitted upstream.
