You are right, I'm already working on that. Kpanel is full of calls to
QToolTip::add()
without calls to QToolTip::remove(). It seems that Qt is missing a
useful QToolTip::set().
I have already fixed all QToolTip::add() problem on my local version.
I'll commit soon
all changes.
However, it seems that there is another memory leak in
KPanel::setLabelDate(), in line:
label_date->setText(QString(dayline)+QString(timeline)+QString(dateline));
Can anyone explain why this command is leaving unfreed memory? Is it a
Qt memory leak?

OK.
