--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
It's up to each individual widget or app to set sensible tooltip text. Most do,
at least for my System Tray. A lot of your examples do seem useful to me. But I
agree that "Wayland to X11 Video Bridge" is not useful.
I foresee two things we can do here:
1. For software under our control, give it a better tooltip!
2. In the System Tray, suppress any tooltip whose text is identical to the
visible text. This should prevent the issue for 3rd-party apps not under our
control.
Let's use this bug report for #2. For #1, can you open new bug reports for
every kde app or widget whose tooltip doesn't feel useful to you?
Note that surfacing usage hints in the tooltip is definitely intentional; this
is even the original usage of tooltips, in fact. So I don't foresee us removing
that stuff.
