[Kde-perl] Overloading of Qt::ToolTip::maybeTip doesn't work

[Ole Christensen]

Please find attached tooltip.pl which should do as a shrinked down test 
case.

If you leave the virtual debugging channel switched on, you can see the 
said messages 1 second after you push the mouse into the white listview 
area.

Appearently the mapObject NEVER gets called throughout the program. But 
maybe there is something wrong with the setup on my machine???


Best regards,

Ole.
