Timeline keeps updating instananeously

[GoogleCodeExporter]

-What steps will reproduce the problem?
Simply starting hotot and logging in to your Twitter account.

-What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It's supposed to update the timeline every specific period of time (e.g: 
5mins); instead, it updates the timeline instantaneously and this is really 
bad. I can barely read the first two words of a tweet before it moves down to 
provide space for the new one!! There should be at least a way to stop the 
timeline so that one could read the tweets before updating for another batch of 
latest tweets.

-What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and
what Desktop Environment?

Hotot 0.9.6 (Ada), Kubuntu Linux 11.04, KDE

Please provide any additional information below.

Hello,
It supported User Streams to provides real-time updates,

This's a bug about the position when new tweets are added.

But how do I disable real-time updates?

I don't think real-time updates need to be disabled: they just need to be 
clubbed together for a period (say 20 seconds) before they are pushed to the 
timeline in Hotot.

Real-time updates are good, but it would be really good if you could do one (or 
more) of the following things:

1- Provide a button which, when pressed, stops/pauses the real-time updating so 
that one can read the tweets easily (you might as well provide a counter for 
the latest tweets while real-time updating is paused).

2- Provide a choice (in the settings, perhaps?) of how the user wants the 
updating to happen (i.e: real-time or after a specified period of time).

3- Make the timeline behave just as in the Twitter website itself.

Hi,

I think The problem is *moves down*, but not *real-time*,

on the fresh revision, timeline should keep the position when new tweets 
updated.
