In kdebase/workspace/ksmserver/kcm/smserverconfigdlg.ui there is indeed a
"what's this"-tip defined:
<item>
           <widget class="KLineEdit" name="excludeLineedit" >
            <property name="whatsThis" >
             <string>Here you can enter a colon or comma separated list of
applications that should not be saved in sessions, and therefore will not be
started when restoring a session. For example 'xterm:konsole' or
'xterm,konsole'.</string>
            </property>
           </widget>
          </item>

But it is not shown! I don't know the implementation, but maybe the surrounding
widget ignores the whatIsThis-hint of the embedded KLineEdit. If thats the
case, pushing the whatIsThis-hint of the exclusion-list one layer up (to the
same as the "on login"-stuff) may help.

Also the above comment implies, that only ':' is a valid separator, but the
comment in the ui-file states, that ',' is also a valid separator - but I doubt
it. Can someone clarify that?

Nevertheless you should also add a tooltip - something like this:
<widget class="KLineEdit" name="excludeLineedit" >
<property name="toolTip" >
             <string>You can use colon or comma as separator. For example
'xterm:konsole' or 'xterm,konsole'.</string>
            </property>
...

It should be shorter than the full help-text in "what is this" to only show
what the possible separators are.

just my 2 cent
