Also there is the amarok tooltip that show the time we are in the track.

I think that an update of the tooltip only when requested my save CPU time. 
specially if the tooltip content change often, or need lot of CPU to be 
computed.


Another feature that is not possible with KSystemTrayIcon is to guess the 
location of the systemtray icon. It is usefull to display a balloon or 
something else around the system tray.
There is of course the message function. but this popup may be not enough (it 
doesn't allow to put buttons on it for example)
We encountered that problem when porting the Kopete balloon   (althought we 
could maybe move to knotify for this one.)
