--- Comment #10 from Ian Morgan <penguin.wrang...@gmail.com> --- I found my problem, and it's incredibly stupid. I also can't believe that in all my quests to find a solution over the last 3+ months, nobody ever thought to ask "are tooltips turned on?".. !!! The closest I had come before was someone asking if the "Show Tooltips" option was turned on ** in Task Manager Settings **.. which it was. And that setting wouldn't explain why no tooltips would show up for ANY panel item, unrelated to Task Manager. Drum roll, please.... System Settings -> Workspace/Desktop Behaviour -> Workspace/Workspace Behaviour -> Show Informational Tips ARGH!!! All this time, and it was a goddamned option that was turned off! Problem solved.. Good-day gentlemen. Recommendation: In the Task Manager settings, grey-out or disable the "Show tooltips" option (with a hint saying why it's disabled) if the global "Show Informational Tips" option is turned off. A related question: In what file is the "Show information tips" option setting stored? One of the things I had done to try to resolve this issue was to wipe all my kde/qt settings files/folders and start fresh, yet that made no difference. Is the fresh-start default for this option on or off? I expect that on would be the default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
