Interesting - I thought tracking mouse movement wasn't such a problem.
Remember that all toolbar buttons do so too, even if for nothing
(i.e. even if they don't do anything when you have the mouse over them).

So I guess this is a problem for you too ? In this case, KToolbarButton could
be improved a bit - by tracking mouse movement only when necessary - and
not at all if that highlight stuff is disabled.
