/**

  A "text float" is a box containing some text which can be displayed anywhere
  above the application windows, not necessarily above its parent widget.

  To use a BaseTextFloat :

    1 - Create a BaseTextFloat object, specifying the text float parent widget

    2 - Call setText() to define which text to display

    3 - Call display() to move and show the text float

    4 - Call reparent() every time parent widgets have been moved or resized

    5 - Repeatedly call setText() to change the text and/or call display()
        to move the text float

    6 - call hide() or hideAfterDelay() to hide the text float
