it returns a position in function of an item on screen, it tries to position 
the dialog above the desired item (in this case the widget owner of the 
tooltip) already managing all the needed corner cases (when the parent item is 
too near to a screen border so there isn't room to display the tooltip where 
it should be)

that function calculates a position, then you just assign x and y properties 
of the dialog to that computed position

only absolute minimum size it should have is the size of the background 
borders
