Don't ?

it's right but konqueror/kate doesn't modify font for all widget but just for 
konqueror/kate.
But Tooltips modify for all widget !

Ok but when we apply panel parameter (disable/enable tooltips) it disables 
enable tooltips globaly for all wigets and not just for kicker ! and vice 
versa !

We use : QToolTip::setGloballyEnabled( _showToolTips );

=> for me it's not good.
After when we restart kde, kicker reapply its configuration when it launch and 
style configuration is lose !

For a newbies is not logical.
This bug was reported on cooker (Mandrake development ) and people doesn't 
understand why when he disabled tooltips in style, after a reload, tooltips 
was activated !

For me it's not good !
It's not logical.
