As discussed yesterday there is KGlobal::dndEventDelay(). But according to a
discussion with some Troll people yesterday, I'll add a static member to
QApplication wich returns the value which should be used, so I don't know if
we need the KGlobal setting then anymore, or if the KGlobal setting should
just return the QApplication setting then.
