i don't think the solution is to automatically hide the popup, however. that 
will just be rather annoying if you move the mouse out of the popup 
accidentally or just to get it out of the way so you can read it better.

what could happen is to reject showing tooltips when there is a popup. that 
seems more sensible to me, as then what the user specifically chose to show 
remains and the conflicting mouse-overs are suppressed.

in AbstractTaskItem::toolTipAboutToShow() there could be a check added to see 
if there are any group popups and if so to just set an empty ToolTipContent 
object.
