Hello,

currently in Plasma5 auto-hidden panels work in a way that it basically
requires mouse slamming either twice or very very hard against the screen
edge which has the panel. Quoting from [1] "This is configurable in KWin.
KWin doesn't trigger screen edges directly, but requires a strong push."

Trying to use this for about a day, it is not as smooth as it could be
because of the screen edge pushback - you slam your mouse towards the edge
but the panel does not appear, only the blue glow, requiring additional
push. It does work however if the mouse is approached slowly to the screen
edge. I suggest to try using it for a while with default setup to get the
feel of it.

I'd like to change this for Plasma panels to not have any resistance or
very minimal one, basically get it into a state that slamming the mouse
against a screen edge will show the panel easily, without requiring an
additional push.

This should be possibly as Martin G. suggests[1]:

* infrastructure supports special cases without a pushback
* client activation could be moved to such a special case without breaking
existing functionality

Any opinions/objections?
