Hi,

While working with KDE I noticed that, although the user interface is pretty 
consistent, it seems to have a couple of small glitches. They can be 
reproduced as described:

- Open Konqueror and browse to a folder with many items (so that the scrollbar 
appears). When hovering over a file or folder, a tooltip appears. Now, scroll 
down (e.g., with the scrollwheel). The tooltip disappears, but if there were 
any icons underneath, they won't completely re-appear.

- Browse to a folder that contains items with long names near the bottom of 
the window. Again, the scrollbar has to be visible (so that the filename text 
would extend below the Konqueror window). Now hover over such an item. The 
tooltip will appear below the Konqueror window. If the filename is very long, 
it can be confusing to the user because the tooltip won't appear anywhere 
near Konqueror.

- When pointing the mouse cursor over the notification area, it a frame 
appears. I read somewhere that this was done deliberately (although I still 
don't understand why). Anyway, after right-clicking on an item in th 
notification area, going through the context menu and selecting something, 
the frame will still be present. The only way to make it disappear is to move 
the mouse into the notification area and out of it, without opening a context 
menu.

I don't know if this is still accurate for KDE CVS (which I definitely need to 
begin using someday ;)). Anyway, should I report these as bugs?
