So I've started to fix most of these. During this process I did
stumble upon the _actual_ reason for why there were no tooltips, which
is somewhat baffling ;)

See my commit message:

    Add icon tooltips for Wikipedia applet, suggested by Thomas Pfeiffer.

    The "funny" thing is that the tooltips were actually there before, but
    due to what I assume is a bug in Plasma, they were not shown. Thing is:
    You need to use QAction::setText(), not Plasma::IconWidget::setToolTip().
    Also QAction::setToolTip() does not work here.
