You perhaps made the mental leap, for met it's still "KDE" without the SC.
It's just the way people call KDE and that sticks. the SC seems like some
expra part that people don't seem to remember.

Either way, first i'm going to start hacking on the internal tooltip class
and without making it a library. We'il see from there :) One step at a time.
