It takes the settings from window background and window text. This might not 
look as fancy as the kde tooltip, but since the hints pop up quite frequently 
in rkward, maybe that is not such a bad idea if their style is a bit more 
plain?

But today I came to realize that this is not really true. Apparently the 
background color of this specific tooltip is only updated when restarting 
rkward, furthermore it is the background of a tooltip that is used here. Since 
regular tooltips and the text were updated right away, I did not notice that 
before.

Well the good news is, this clears some of the confusion and it seems that 
only the text color is not working as expected.

p.setColor (QPalette::Inactive, QPalette::Text, p.color (QPalette::Inactive, 
QPalette::ToolTipText));

By the way Is this just me or a general error?

Best,
Dirk
