--this way the parabolic effect works nicely after
the dock slides-in. In the past there was a chance
that even though mouse was hovering an parabolicable applet
the parabolic effect was not started because parabolic
event was rejected because the dock was not fully shown
yet
--new introduced external spacers of main layout are
used from parabolic effect in order to keep the contents
of main layout in balance. That produces a much better
visual result for the user because when the user hovers
an item, that item is zoomed and the mouse is still
present at first hovered position.
--trying to handle this way all jumpiness from parabolic
effect when dock is at the bottom edge and the user moves its
mouse at the top edge of the parabolized item. When the mouse
slightly exits the item ParabolicMouseArea and gets a mouseEntered
signal even though, it should not and immediately gets also
a mouseExited signal to correct things. This happens exactly
after the Paraboli.sglClearZoom() signal has been triggered.
--this way the user can choose to use a much
greater parabolic effect that will influence five
or seven of its neighbours instead of just three.
The new option can be found at Latte Global Preferences.
--each item is now informing Parabolic ability about its
visible index when the mouser enters first time its area.
This is enough for parabolic effect to identify correctly
when there is mouse rapid movement.
