I wholeheartedly agree. BUT: It's also not possible to c&p text from a 
KMessageBox...so we'd need that first to make the URL in a tooltip a real 
disadvantage :)
Maybe use a readonly QTextEdit w/o frame instead of a QLabel? Or make all URLs 
clickable - dunno how though: "<qt><a 
href=\"http://www.kde.org\">http://w...org</a></qt>" currently underlines the 
link and makes it blue, but it's not clickable :)
