@kevin : that’s cool, we haven’t backported it because we don’t want to backport feature again in branch (like in 4.0), but that’s the choice of the distribution and that’s good

In case anyone still reads this, we backported the tooltip patches (tooltip manager, patches to applets to actually use it) to Fedora’s 4.1.0 packages, you can find the patch in Fedora’s packaging CVS (sorry, no link because the post ends up filtered otherwise ).

I don’t think you need to worry about that. Getting it for 4.1 (or 4.1.1) would have been nice, but I doubt anyone really expected it now that 4.1 is just around the corner. Hoping is another thing…

Note that this is 4.2 material. No one said it would be in 4.1.1, and 4.2 is more likely. It will not be in 4.1, if at all, and therefore the release team needs to make an exception to the no features rule, it could *maybe* go into 4.1.1. Don’t hold your breath though. Don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t make it into the 4.1 branch and if you have to wait until 4.2.

Great, that gives the kde4 desktop more of final touch and love, that its sometimes missing from kde3.
Hopefully it is at least included with 4.1.1, if not already in 4.1

how about those awesome effects from KDE 3.x, you that one with the dots,
they were so cool, and it just proves you that compositing doesnt necessarily equal coolness.

Great work! The only disturbing thing I see is that the tooltip is overlapping a couple of pixels with the taskbar. Imho it would be nicer if it appears exactly above the taskbar.
