In Konqueror and KMail, the tooltip behaviour for toolbars is as follows:

1) Tooltips appear below mouse pointer (no matter where the toolbar is). 
2) Tooltips appear about 1 second after moving mouse onto icon
 * once the tooltip appears, if you scan the other icons, the tooltips appear 
immediately.  This is VERY useful; if you don't know what one icon is, 
chances are you're not sure what the other ones are either, so you are 
essentially "browsing" for functionality.
3) Tooltips disappear as soon as you move the mouse off of the icon (and not 
simply moving the mouse).
4) Tooltips appear as a yellow box with black text inside them.

The primary implementation change for Kicker would be to make the tooltip 
appear outside of the panel (above if it's on the bottom, or else below for 
all other circumstances to be consistent with KDE Toolbars).
