You were clear enough :-) And it - kind of - worked as in the tooltip gets 
registered but the popup doesn't show. I can see that the 
Plasma::PopupApplet::toolTipAboutToShow() method is called but nothing 
happens. As far as I can see from the docs and the behavior of other Plasmoids 
it is not mandatory to implement but perhaps it is in Python Plasmoids.
I will have to tinker a bit with it but thanks a lot for leading me in the 
right direction. Should have thought of it myself but isn't it always like 
that? ;-)

BTW: I also tried to add:

	Plasma.ToolTipManager.self().registerWidget(self.applet)

but it didn't make any difference - as it shouldn't AFAICT.
