As I am following this discussion I was just wondering:

When it is so complicated to find the right spot for the text label why don't 
we just make the popup label - or is it called 'hint'? - appear quicker and/or 
more prominent if desired.

This way especially users with problems with their eyesight could, for 
instance, be offered the possibility to _easily_ (not digging for ages in 
systemsettings) change the size of the popup and everybody would be happy.

Hm, maybe even make the popup resizeable by dragging it's edges?

If someone still always wants to see what those icons mean without hovering 
the mouse over it he can choose the desired position as he sees fit.


Cheers
Manfred
