unfortunate indeed. there's a way to manually show a tooltip, but then I have 
to manually position it, and manually re-show it if the mouse moves in&out of 
the widget.
unless I can fake a mouse move event :P seems like I'm doing a lot of hacky 
event faking lately.

"when needed" is tricky too; it seems like I'd have to have every input button 
emit signals when it starts & stops wanting input, and then have the UI keep a 
count of them and hide the label when there's 0 of them.

this doesn't feel right. I feel like I'm missing something...
I'm gonna go do something else and hope that my subconscious (or someone on 
this list) comes up with an answer. :)
