Wrong. FvwmIconMan & FvwmTaskBar implement them. But in this two modules
they are called tips, not balloons. I think 'tips' is more conventional
term.

My suggestions:

- Use term 'tips' instead of 'balloons' in any new code & docs.
- Rename 'balloons' to 'tips' in FvwmPager, still supporting the old
  variant, but marking it explicitly as deprecated. (I can do all
  necessary changes and send a patch if core developers agree with this
  opinion).

I can hardly imagine why users need tips with different colors. Don't
bother, make it global.

Bye
