There are two types of tooltips on Kicker. One type is the small yellow kind, disabled by unticking 'Enable Tooltips'. The other kind are only in the Beta, and while these are very obviously tooltips they are disabled by unticking 'Enable Icon Zooming' unless you are running a very recent CVS head, where the dialog has been fixed. The behaviour described as "pop up even if the mouse stays over the icon for -say- 0.05 secs somethimes!!! And if the mouse passes over all of them (5 icons) heading for the last, i get some 3 or 4 popup windows pop up at the same time" is more consistant with the new style of tooltips in CVS head. If you're not running the beta or a recent CVS, then this may not apply to you so you can simply disregard it :-) -- JH KDE frequently asked questions: http://docs.kde.org/en/HEAD/kdebase/faq/ panic("esp_handle: current_SC == penguin within interrupt!"); ___________________________________________________ .
