Nope, There's no a timeout.

Sorry, I didn't explain it correctly

Take a look to the green dot, you'll see that it gets over the orange 
one (In the point mapper, the Cartesian plane), When the green point 
reach the position of the orange one the panel is shown, then moving to 
left/right you can choose the type of click you want to perform, then 
moving the head up you accept the chosen click, if you activate the 
panel accidentally then moving the head down you can close the panel 
without performing any click.

I hope that the method is understandable now.

Well, I completely agree the good thing is ( good because I can say it 
is done ) that in any case we'll need the buttons panel to select the 
type of click, because if we don't use it then the user will need to set 
a face gesture for each type of click ( left, middle, drag/drop, right )

Yes!! That's exactly what mouseTrap does, offers mouse control to for 
people with minimal head movement, while i program the eye tracking 
feature ( Hope to get it working soon).
