right, and this is shell specific as to what that even means. (remember that we have a KPart too :) we'll need some mechanism to get to this information, and wherever we place it it will need to be available to things such as tooltips and dialogs ... as long as we talk about Plasma code only, i'm not sure what better place than the Corona related to the Containment/Applet in question there is. but the real complication comes from the fact that we'd like to make the tooltips available to other applications ... ones which won't have a Corona. so this information will still need to be provided by the shell/application itself .. we may end up with an interface which applications can reimplement or just instantiate to get the default behaviour, which Corona itself subclasses or aggregates so it can be customized in behaviour. question is how to make this visible to components that need it, and that sounds a lot like needing a singleton ... if we can get away with an application global singleton it's simple. but the case where there may be multiple Coronas in the same app (think about the KPart :) that might not be true. fun .. :) -- Aaron J.
