Change subject: WIP: new Tooltip infrastructure
......................................................................


Patch Set 3:

> sluggish

times are configurable. Fading in/out is by design. I think the current 
implementation where it instantly opens at you is harsh / scary.

> it takes them a little bit of time to appear after hovering on the icon. 

by design. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023549

> a tooltip may appear when the user has already hovered-out of the relevant 
> icon. 

a bug, can fix

> two tool-tips may appear at the same time. 

is that a problem?

> tool-tips may take a significant amount of time to disappear. 

1 second is by design (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023549)
if they take longer, it's because a grid refresh happened. currently i have the 
reaper set to 5 seconds or something, but we could have it shorter or even 
near-instant.

that's why the patch is marked "WIP" :) I have much to fix.

Not sure.

I think that's dramatic given that the issues are small. Since this is a 3.6 
feature, we have plenty of time to fix any bugs or issues that come up. But I 
defer to you :)
