--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
The applet-describing tooltip I think can be useful for new users, which is the
use case for tooltips. I'm not sure it's obvious what the Show Desktop widget
does based on its icon alone, and the tooltip helps there. And for Kickoff,
people only know what it is and does because it's position and activation
methods are essentially a UX clone of the Windows Start menu. Nothing about its
icon makes it obvious.
So we have a problem in that these tooltips are educational and useful if you
could benefit from the education, but become annoying once you've learned it.
What might make sense to me is that the "dDsable informational tooltips on
mouse hover" setting in the workspace KCM only applies to these "user
education" tooltips and not "functional tooltips" such as the one for the clock
that shows you timezones, or the one for the Task Manager that has window
thumbnails in it.
Then experts can uncheck that box and lose the educational tooltips but not the
functional ones.
