I agree that the version number belongs in the About box.
The About KDE should have the KDE version number, 
the About FOO the version number of FOO

But I do still think that the tooltip should be descriptive,
and "Color outside the lines" is typically not.

"KDE System Menu" should do, I think. Though I don't know if it 
is a system menu, an application menu, a miscelaneous menu,
whatever. Maybe "A la carte" is a better choice:)

Whatever the outcome, I hope it will be descriptive.
