I think my code is able to do both. And it will fix a mistake I've made in the 
Header.
Just move the function updateData() from protected: (it should be in protected 
slots:, because of the timer, which needs the slot) to public slots:. Then it 
is accessible in a good way. The applet may call is when ever it wants and 
KickerTip will fetch the needed information fom updateKickerTip().
