Plasma.ToolTipManager and Plasma.Applet

[Thomas Olsen]

I have no idea if this belongs to kde-bindings or plasma-devel, so I'll have to do
the unmentionable thing and crosspost. Sorry.

I finally got a working python PopupApplet and now I want it to show the fancy
tool tip when hovering over it in the panel.

So reading about it in [1] and [2] it seems rather straight forward. [2] states 
that "... since a Plasma::Applet is a QGraphicsWidget, you can use 
Plasma::ToolTipManager::self()->setContent(this, data); in the applet's init()
method to set a tooltip for the whole applet."

After failing at first attempts I made a simplified Applet which basically is this:

class PyPopupApplet(Applet):

  def __init__(self,parent,args=None):
    Applet.__init__(self, parent)

  def init(self):
    self._widget = PyPopup(self) # A QGraphicsWidget
    self._widget.init()
    
    self.setGraphicsWidget(self._widget)
    self.setPopupIcon('text-x-python')
    # for some odd reason this has to be called twice..?
    self.setGraphicsWidget(self._widget)

    # Tool tip for panel
    self.metadata = self.package().metadata()
    data = Plasma.ToolTipContent()
    data.mainText = self.metadata.name()
    data.subText = self.metadata.description()
    data.image = KIcon(self.metadata.pluginName())
    Plasma.ToolTipManager.self().setContent(self, data)

But it fails miserably with:
"TypeError: ToolTipManager.setContent(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'PyPopupApplet'"
and the plasmoidviewer crashes.

Have I again misunderstood something or should I file a bugreport against the python bindings?
