--- 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.
