Nag.

Since KConfigXT doesn't support tooltips, I can add code
like this to my app:
  fooItem->checkBox()->setToolTip( fooItem->whatsThis())
 
but that makes the tooltip and the whatsthis use the same message.
or I have to hard-code a separate message in the .cpp instead of the .kcfg.

otoh, wouldn't a tooltip and a whatsthis message be the same most of the time?
are there HIG rules for what info should be in a whatsthis vs. a tooltip?

Anyhow... it seems like tooltips were left out of the kcfg.xsd for some good
reason that isn't obvious to me.
