I'm currently working on theKickerTip class to provide an update function 
which doesn't need to be called by the applet. I licke the current idea of 
just installing an event filter and then let KickerTip do the work and I 
would vote for keeping that. Yesterday I started the work and it's already 
looking good (I took the time to redesign some functions). I hope today I'll 
finish it and then I'll mail the patch.
