They do show up. If anyone can tell me how I grab a window with a 
tooltip w/o the tooltip showing as a black box in the grabbed picture, 
I can send you proof of this, too.
  This is also there in Mandrake's 2.1.2 packages.

The screenshot below was made on current CVS Konqi (well, a week old) 
after selecting Text position->Text aside Icons from the toolbars' 
context menu. As you can see, the colour is definitiely _not_ different 
for I checked the same in Mandrake's 2.1.2 packages: It works well 
there.

from the failure of the current intelligence infrastructure -- already
the beneficiary of the highest intelligence budget in the nation's
history. Washington's traditional approach of throwing money at the
problem to make it go away will not prevent a similar occurence in the
future. Fixing the problem, not funding it, is clearly the answer.
